Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 110 grams gluten-free graham crackers finely crushed
  • ½ teaspoon dried edible lavender buds coarsely ground
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted

Blueberry Topping

  • cups blueberries
  • ¼ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons organic cane sugar
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¾ teaspoon dried edible lavender buds

Cheesecake Filling

  • ¾ cup heavy cream chilled
  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 4 ounces goat cheese room temperature
  • ½ cup organic cane sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon dried edible lavender buds coarsely ground

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust

  • Place the gluten-free graham crackers in a food processor and blend until they become fine crumbs. Transfer to a medium bowl and mix with ground lavender and melted butter until well combined.
  • Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the base and slightly up the sides of the pan. Place the crust in the freezer to set.

Make the blueberry topping

  • Add 1 cup of the blueberries and the water to a food processor and blend until roughly chopped. Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan.
  • Add the sugar, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to simmer.
  • Add the remaining blueberries.
  • Place the lavender buds in a tea bag or cheesecloth pouch and add it to the sauce. Reduce heat and allow the lavender to steep while stirring occasionally.
  • Cook until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let the lavender steep for another 15–20 minutes before removing the pouch. Allow the blueberry sauce to cool completely.

Prepare the cheesecake filling

  • In a large bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  • In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, goat cheese, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and lavender until smooth and creamy.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture using a spatula until fully incorporated.
  • Assemble the cheesecake
  • Remove the crust from the freezer and pour the filling into the pan. Smooth the top with a spoon or spatula.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set.
  • Serve
  • When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and release it from the springform pan.
  • Spoon the blueberry topping generously over the cheesecake before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a stronger berry flavor, you can mix a small amount of blueberry sauce directly into the cheesecake filling.
