⭐ Star Ingredients
To make this no bake lavender cheesecake you'll need a few star ingredients:
- Lavender syrup – This is what makes the cheesecake sing. I’ve tested a few, and trust me—culinary-grade lavender syrup gives the best balance of floral without tasting like soap. Just a little goes a long way.
- Cream cheese – Always go full-fat and let it soften first. Cold cream cheese = lumpy filling, and we want that dreamy, smooth texture.
- Whipped cream – Folded into the filling, it gives this no-bake cheesecake a light, mousse-like finish. I’ve used both homemade and store-bought—both work, but freshly whipped cream makes it extra special.

📖 Substitutions & Variations
- Blueberry swirl – Drop spoonfuls of compote into the batter to make a blueberry lavender cheesecake.

- Lemon twist – Add lemon zest and juice for a citrusy kick. Lemon lavender cheesecake is amazing!

🔪How To Make Lavender Cheesecake

- Step 2: Place the crust into a medium bowl and pour melted butter.
- Step 3: Mix everything and press crumbs into 8” springform pan into an even layer. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Always use culinary-grade lavender to avoid bitterness.
- If using dried lavender instead of syrup, steep it in warm cream, then strain before mixing. I find lavender syrup easier to use.
- To slice cleanly, dip your knife in hot water and wipe between each cut.
