Description

Creamy mini cheesecakes with a delightful twist of blackberries and lavender, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon culinary lavender, finely ground
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased mini cheesecake pan, ensuring an even layer. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream, eggs, finely ground lavender, and vanilla extract, blending until well combined.
  3. Bake the Cheesecakes: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in the mini cheesecake pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 20 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are just set in the center. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before refrigerating for at least an hour.
  4. Prepare the Blackberry Topping: In a small saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, water, and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries break down and the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and allow the topping to cool.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Once the cheesecakes are fully chilled, spoon the cooled blackberry topping over each one. Garnish with extra lavender or fresh blackberries for an elegant touch.

Notes

These mini cheesecakes are best served chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
