Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Graham cracker crumbs
- 80 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 25 grams Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 450 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 180 ml Heavy cream
- 100 grams Granulated sugar (for filling)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried culinary lavender
- 20 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar for the crust. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to create the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until it just begins to steam (do not boil). Stir in the dried culinary lavender and remove from heat. Cover and let it steep for 10 minutes.
Strain the lavender-infused cream through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the lavender buds. Set the cream aside to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar for the filling until smooth and creamy.
Add the lavender-infused cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the cream cheese mixture into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, dust the surface of the pie lightly with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Lavender Vanilla Cream Cheese Pie!
