Ingredients

12 oz (375g) Digestive biscuits
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
9.5 oz (270g) lavender honey
4 1/2 tablespoons fresh or dry lavender flowers
4 1/2 tablespoons water
10 drops natural lavender extract (optional)
13 oz (375g) cream cheese
1.9 cup (40.5 cl) cream

Instructions

Step 1: Crush the digestive biscuits finely. Melt the unsalted butter and mix it thoroughly with the biscuit crumbs. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 26 cm springform pan with removable edges to form an even crust.
Step 2: Bring the water and 1 tablespoon of lavender honey to a boil. Remove from heat, add the lavender flowers, and let them steep for about 15 minutes. Strain the flowers out, saving the infused liquid, then stir in the lavender extract if using.
Step 3: In a bowl, mix the remaining honey with the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually stir in the lavender-infused liquid. Whip the cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Step 4: Spread the lavender honey cream cheese mixture evenly over the biscuit crust in the springform pan. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours until set. For longer storage, you can also freeze the cheesecake.

Tips & Variations

For a stronger lavender flavor, increase the steeping time or add a few extra drops of lavender extract.
Use fresh lavender flowers if possible for the best aroma, but dried works well too.
If digestive biscuits are unavailable, graham crackers or oat cookies make good alternatives.
Top the cheesecake with fresh berries or a drizzle of additional honey before serving for extra sweetness and color.

Storage

Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap securely with plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Avoid refreezing once thawed.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of honey?

Yes, you can substitute lavender honey with any mild-flavored honey, but this will reduce the floral notes characteristic of this cheesecake.

Is it necessary to use lavender extract?

No, it’s optional. The lavender flowers steeped in honey water provide a subtle flavor, but adding extract enhances the aroma if desired.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

12 oz (375g) Digestive biscuits
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter

Lavender Infusion

9.5 oz (270g) lavender honey
4 1/2 Tablespoons fresh or dry lavender flowers
4 1/2 Tablespoons water
10 drops natural lavender extract (optional)

Filling

13 oz (375g) cream cheese
1.9 cup (40.5 cl) cream

Instructions

Prepare the crust: Crush the digestive biscuits finely using a food processor or by hand. Melt the unsalted butter until liquid and combine it thoroughly with the crushed biscuits. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 26 cm springform pan with removable edges to form a firm crust layer.
Make the lavender infusion: Bring the water and 1 tablespoon of lavender honey to a boil. Remove from heat and add the lavender flowers, letting them steep for about 15 minutes to infuse the liquid. Strain out the lavender flowers and keep the infused liquid. Stir in 10 drops of natural lavender extract for extra aroma if desired.
Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, blend the remaining lavender honey with cream cheese until smooth. Gradually stir in the lavender-infused liquid. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks, then gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain a light texture.
Assemble and chill: Pour the lavender honey cream cheese filling over the prepared biscuit crust in the springform pan. Spread evenly and smooth the top. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 3 hours to allow it to set completely. For longer storage or a firmer texture, you may freeze the cheesecake.

Notes

If fresh lavender flowers are unavailable, dried lavender can be used instead, but ensure it is culinary grade.
Natural lavender extract is optional but enhances the floral flavor prominently.
Do not overwhip the cream as it could spoil the texture of the final cheesecake.
This cheesecake is best served chilled and can be garnished with additional honey drizzle or lavender sprigs for presentation.
Keep refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
