A delightful and elegant dessert that combines the floral notes of lavender with the sweetness of honey, all in a creamy cheesecake that is gluten-free.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup honey
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons culinary lavender
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the gluten-free graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of honey until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sour cream and ¾ cup of honey, mixing until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the culinary lavender and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  7. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for about an hour.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  9. Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious gluten-free honey lavender cheesecake!

Notes

  • Make sure to use culinary lavender, not decorative lavender.
  • For a stronger lavender flavor, you can steep the lavender in the cream cheese mixture for a few minutes before mixing.
  • This cheesecake can be topped with fresh berries or a drizzle of honey for added flavor.
