Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Infuse the Cream: In a small saucepan, combine the heavy whipping cream and dried lavender over low heat. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let it steep for 15-20 minutes before straining to remove the lavender buds.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- Combine: Slowly pour the infused cream into the cream cheese mixture, mixing until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled, garnished with additional lavender or a drizzle of honey if desired.
