Lemon Goat Cheese Cheesecakes with Honey and Pine Nuts

Cheesecake is a great dessert for those who are craving something rich and creamy rather than overly sweet. The phyllo cups, honey and pine nuts add a Mediterranean twist to this dreamy treat, while bite-size portions make this an easy dessert to enjoy in moderation.
