Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons dried lavender buds, plus extra for garnish
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the melted white chocolate, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
- Infuse with Lavender: In a small saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of water and the dried lavender buds over low heat for about 5 minutes, allowing the lavender to infuse. Strain the lavender and add the liquid to the cheesecake mixture, folding gently to incorporate.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is set.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with additional lavender buds if desired, slice, and enjoy your No-Bake White Chocolate Lavender Cheesecake!
