Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Base
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese Use room temperature for easy blending.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adjust for preferred sweetness.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 3 large Eggs Use room temperature to prevent cracks.
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances sweetness.
For the Blueberry Lavender Swirl
  • 2 cups Fresh Blueberries Substitute with favorite berries for a fruity twist.
  • 1 tsp Culinary-grade Lavender Use sparingly for a floral note.
For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups Graham Crackers Gluten-free options available.
  • 0.5 cup Butter Melted and cooled.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • springform pan
  • saucepan
  • Electric Mixer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush graham crackers until fine. Mix with melted butter and granulated sugar, then press into a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes until golden, then let cool.
  2. In a saucepan, simmer fresh blueberries with a bit of sugar and culinary-grade lavender over medium heat until thick for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat to cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add eggs, mixing gently. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  4. Pour half of the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust, dollop half of the blueberry compote on top, and swirl gently. Repeat with remaining filling and compote.
  5. Lower oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Bake cheesecake for approximately 60 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Cool gradually in the oven for 1 hour.
  6. Refrigerate cheesecake for at least 6 hours or overnight to enhance texture and flavor.

For best flavor, chill overnight and let the flavors meld beautifully. Substitute cream cheese and sour cream with vegan alternatives for a dairy-free option.
