Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs For the crust
  • ½ cup unsalted butter Melted
  • 24 oz full-fat cream cheese Block style, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream For steeping and whipping
  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender Ensure it is food-grade
  • ½ cup honey Plus extra for drizzling on top
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice Freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest Brightly colored zest only
  • 1 piece real honeycomb For garnish

Equipment

  • 1 8-inch springform pan For easy removal
  • 1 Clean bubble wrap Cut to the size of the pan for the pattern
  • 1 Fine-mesh sieve For straining the lavender out of the cream
  • 1 Stand mixer or hand mixer For whipping the filling smooth

Method
 

  1. Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, then press into an 8-inch springform pan to build a sturdy crust.
  2. Heat the heavy cream, remove from heat, and steep the culinary lavender in it for ten minutes to infuse the floral flavor.
  3. Strain the lavender buds out, chill the cream completely, and whip it to stiff peaks so the cheesecake stays airy.
  4. Beat the softened cream cheese, honey, lemon juice, and zest until perfectly smooth to create the tangy base.
  5. Fold the whipped lavender cream gently into the cream cheese mixture so the batter remains light and fluffy.
  6. Pour the filling over the crust, smooth the top, and gently press a clean sheet of bubble wrap into the surface.
  7. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least six hours until fully set so it holds its shape when sliced.
  8. Peel off the bubble wrap carefully, drizzle with extra honey, and garnish with fresh lavender and honeycomb pieces.

Notes

Use a piece of thoroughly cleaned, brand-new bubble wrap pressed gently into the top of the wet batter before chilling to easily create the stunning honeycomb pattern.
