  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 9 large bars or 12 medium bars

Ingredients

For the Crust
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the White Chocolate Lavender Cheesecake Filling
16 oz (450g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
6 oz high-quality white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
2 large eggs, room temperature
½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon culinary lavender
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch fine sea salt

Optional Garnish
White chocolate shavings
Dried culinary lavender buds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

  • In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined. Press firmly into the prepared pan. Bake 10 minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely.

  • Heat heavy cream until steaming but not boiling. Add lavender, cover, and steep for 10 minutes. Strain and discard lavender. Let cream cool slightly.

  • Melt white chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals. Stir until smooth and allow to cool slightly.

  • Beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.

  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

  • Mix in melted white chocolate.

  • Stir in lavender-infused cream, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

  • Pour filling over cooled crust. Tap pan gently to release air bubbles.

  • Bake for 35–40 minutes. Edges should be set and center slightly jiggly.

  • Cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

 

  • Slice using a hot knife wiped clean between cuts for sharp edges.

Notes

Use only culinary-grade lavender to avoid bitterness.
Do not overbake; slight jiggle ensures creamy texture.
For clean slices, chill overnight and cut with a warm knife.
High-quality white chocolate improves flavor and consistency.
