My Dad's (belated) Birthday Cheesecake

I wanted to make a cheesecake for my Dad's birthday, even though we live in different countries right now, but I wanted to make something special to celebrate him. So I scrolled through Reddit for ideas and saw this post about a fried ice cream cheesecake.

I really love this recipe, it's delicious. However, I had to improvise a bit since I didn't have most of the special ingredients, such as the powdered honey (I mixed honey and sugar together and blended them, but couldn't dehydrate it, though) and freeze-dried ice cream (I used melted ice cream). Surprisingly, I found vanilla powder in my country. I also didn't have sour cream, so I left out the sour cream topping. I will definitely make this again, although next time I'll x1.5 or x2 the crust recipe so it's all-encompassing and thick, and I'll reduce the sugar in the cheesecake base to about 2 cups or 1 3/4 cups.

Thank you @u/hahahomicidal for sharing and for leading me to the recipe for this wonderful cheesecake. Here's the recipe.
