Decadent Desserts: Lavender Honey Cheesecake

Today, I’m excited to share a unique and elegant dessert recipe perfect for celebrating special occasions or simply treating yourself to something indulgent. This lavender honey cheesecake is a delicate balance of floral notes and rich creaminess that will surely impress your guests or loved ones.

Ingredients:

• 250g cream cheese
• 150g Greek yogurt
• 100g honey
• 10g lavender extract
• 3 eggs
• 100g sugar
• Zest of one lemon
• 150g graham crackers
• 100g butter, melted

Kitchen Tools:

• springform pan
• mixing bowl
• electric mixer
• spatula
• food processor

To start, preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until they form fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well combined, then press the mixture into the bottom of a greased springform pan to form the crust.

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the Greek yogurt, honey, lavender extract, sugar, and lemon zest. Mix until everything is fully incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth out the top with a spatula and tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.

Once the cheesecake is done baking, let it cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to set. When ready to serve, carefully remove the springform pan sides and slice the cheesecake into portions. Enjoy the creamy, floral flavors of this lavender honey masterpiece!
