Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Melt your vegan butter, mix it in, and press into the springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  3. Combine fresh lemon juice and culinary lavender in a small saucepan. Heat gently for about 10 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
  4. Beat vegan cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add sugar, then mix in sour cream, lemon zest, strained lemon juice, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Pour filling into the cooled crust, smooth the top, and bake in a water bath for 50-60 minutes until slightly jiggly. Let rest in the oven for 30 minutes.
  6. Transfer cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Top with crunchy honeycomb before serving.
