For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 3 Eggs Room temperature for better mixing
For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs Crush finely for perfect texture

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until mixed and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth for 2-3 minutes. Gradually add sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, and lavender, mixing until creamy without lumps.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low after each until just combined. Ensure mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake at 325°F (160°C) for about 60 minutes until edges are set but slightly wobbly in the center.
  5. Let cheesecake cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Before serving, remove from the springform pan and top with honeycomb or alternatives like crushed nuts. Garnish with fresh berries if desired.
