Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted plant-based butter in a bowl. Press into the springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  3. Mix lemon juice with culinary lavender in a bowl and let steep for 10 minutes, then strain or mix finely.
  4. In a bowl, beat vegan cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add sugar, then incorporate sour cream, lemon zest, and infused lemon juice. Add vanilla and mix gently.
  5. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Set a roasting pan in the oven with hot water for a baking water bath.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes until set at edges and slightly jiggly in the center. Turn off the oven and let cool inside for 30 minutes.
  7. After cooling, refrigerate covered for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Before serving, top with honeycomb, drizzle with honey or agave, and garnish with lavender buds and lemon zest.
