Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg s
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender, finely ground
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Press 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each liner.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blackberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer for 10 minutes until berries break down. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds and set the syrup aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, followed by sour cream, ground lavender, and vanilla extract.
  • Divide the cheesecake batter evenly among the muffin liners.
  • Place 3 small dots of the blackberry syrup onto the top of each cheesecake and use a toothpick to swirl.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the centers are slightly jiggly but the edges are set.
  • Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
