New York Cheesecake Recipe: New York Cheesecake with Lavender | Seasoned Pioneers

Ingredients

• 185 grams of crushed digestives or 100 grams of crushed digestives mixed with 85 grams of crushed ginger biscuits
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 100 grams of salted butter melted
• 900 grams of Philadelphia
• 260 grams of sugar, I recommend a mixture of caster sugar and light brown sugar as it will become an attractive colour when baked.
• 70 grams of flour
• 3 limes (grate these and use the juice of 2 limes)
• 600 ml of sour cream
• 9 eggs
• 2 heaped tablespoons of French Lavender: slightly crushed to release more flavour
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or the seeds of one vanilla pod (keep the pod to infuse a jar of sugar for vanilla sugar!)
