How to Make Lavender Cheesecake

Line a 7-inch spring-form pan with parchment paper and place it aside.

Use a food processor or blender to crush up the graham crackers. Pulse into fine crumbs.

Add the crumbs and sugar into a bowl and combine.

Add the butter into a heat-safe bowl and melt in the microwave.

Combine the butter and crumbs together until the crumbs are completely coated.

Place the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and gently press down. Then, place into the freezer.

Add the cream cheese, heavy cream, and vanilla into the mixing bowl of a standing mixer and combine at low speed.

Pour in the sugar and lavender and combine until smooth.

Adding in the lavender syrup to the batter.

Put in a teaspoon of the food coloring gel and combine until fully incorporated. Since food coloring gel varies in intensity, you can start with 1/2 of a teaspoon until you reach the desired color.

Mixing in the ingredients in the mixing bowl.

Take the pan out of the freezer when the batter is ready.

Add the batter into the crust and smooth the batter into the pan. Then, place the pan back into the freezer for approximately 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.

Decorate the Cheesecake:

Put the frosting into a large piping bag with a fluted tip and begin adding frosting to the top of the cheesecake.

Notes

NOTE:  Since the cheesecake is frozen, you can take it out of the freezer and decorate it ahead of time, and place it back in the freezer.  Remove the Cheesecake 15 to 20 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Or, if you prefer, you can serve it frozen, which is great on a hot summer day!   ALSO:  The Lavender Syrup adds an aromatic sweetness to the cheesecake.
 
NOTE: Since some food coloring gels may vary in color intensity -  You can start with about 1/2 a teaspoon of the Food Coloring Gel, and keep adding a few more drops until you get the color that you want.  OR, you can start with a few drops, and keep adding until the desired color is reached.  When you have the color you want, remove the pan from the freezer, and pour the Cheesecake Batter on top of the crust.  Smooth the top of the cheesecake evenly in the pan, and place the pan back in the freezer, for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

  1. Sounds wonderful and it’s so pretty.  I don’t have Lavender syrup, but I do have violet syrup and am going to try that.  Nice to be able to make a dessert ahead of time and store in the freezer.  Thanks!!
