Method

1. We start by preparing the first layer of the basbousa cheesecake. Finely crush the digestive biscuits and mix them with the butter and honey. Press the mixture into a cheesecake pan.
2. Set the first layer aside and prepare the second layer. Mix the powdered milk with 1 cup sugar, the first carton of qashta cream, and the yogurt. Whisk well, then spread the mixture over the biscuit layer.
3. Place the pan with the two layers in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes.

4. Now prepare the third and final layer of the basbousa cheesecake. Mix the semolina with 1/4 cup sugar, the second carton of qashta cream, oil, vanilla, baking powder, and water. Mix well until you have a smooth, homogeneous mixture or dough.
5. Add the dough over the first and second layers. Return the pan to the oven at 180 degrees for another 10 minutes.
