Honey Lavender Cheesecake

A sweet and very refreshing summer cheesecake that will make you dream of Provence in the south of France!

Have you ever dreamt of the south of France and its beautiful landscapes in summertime? When I think Provence, I don’t know why, I always picture it with beautiful and endless lavender fields.

A few years back, my boyfriend David brought me a huge jar of lavender honey from one of his trips. Oh dear, it became my favorite honey straight away (and I’m kind of a connoisseur in terms of honeys). Its delicate taste virtually took me to Provence in mind and I could almost hear the cicada singing. My palate still remembers this amazing flavor…

With the very warm weather in Europe lately, I figured you might like a very refreshing dessert with a hint of summertime from the south of France. Making you dream a little bit…

Of course lavender was mandatory for my recipe and I naturally came up with the idea of this lavender cheesecake! Both sweet and refreshing, this very easy and quick recipe will be perfect to enjoy for teatime on the terrace during your summer holidays. Happy summer everyone!
