Method

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan.
Make the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes until golden.
Infuse the lavender in warmed heavy cream for 15 minutes, then strain and cool.
Beat cream cheese in a bowl, adding honey, infused cream, and vanilla, then mix in eggs and cornstarch.
Pour filling over the cooled crust, place in a water bath, and bake for 60-70 minutes.
Cool the cheesecake at room temperature for 1 hour before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.
Optionally, make syrup by simmering honey, lavender, and water for 5-7 minutes.
Serve by releasing the springform pan, drizzling with syrup, and garnishing with fresh lavender.
