Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup honey
  • 0.5 cups sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons culinary lavender
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
Optional Toppings
  • Whipped cream For topping
  • Additional lavender sprigs or honey drizzle For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press it firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the honey, mixing until fully combined.
  3. Add the sour cream, eggs, lavender, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Blend until silky, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serving Suggestions
  1. Remove the sides of the springform pan and serve drizzled with honey and topped with whipped cream and lavender sprigs.
