Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and gather a 9-inch springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, salt, and melted vegan butter until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.
  3. In a small saucepan, gently heat lemon juice and sprinkle in the culinary lavender. Allow it to steep for 10 minutes, then strain to discard the lavender buds.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the vegan cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, followed by infused lemon juice, sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
  5. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth it out. Bake in a water bath for 50-60 minutes or until the center is slightly jiggly. Let it rest in the oven for 30 minutes.
  6. Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Before serving, remove from the springform pan, top with honeycomb, and garnish with lemon zest and lavender buds.
