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.
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.
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.
Add some sprinkles on top of the frosting.
Slice the cheesecake into 2-3 inch pieces, then serve and enjoy!
What gives the lavender flavor?
To make this cheesecake have a lavender flavor, you will be using lavender syrup. It gives that intense burst of delicious lavender to the cheesecake.
Tip for cutting cheesecake:
The cheesecake can be very sticky and hard to cut with a knife. The key to cutting a perfect slice is measuring where you want to cut. Then, be sure to have a clean and smooth knife, use a piece of wax paper to wrap around the sharp end of the knife, then cut your cheesecake.

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!!
