A sweet and very refreshing summer cheesecake that will make you dream of Provence in the south of France!

Honey Lavender Cheesecake

Have you ever dreamt of the south of France and its beautiful landscapes in summertime? When I think Provence, I don’t know why, I always picture it with beautiful and endless lavender fields.

A few years back, my boyfriend David brought me a huge jar of lavender honey from one of his trips. Oh dear, it became my favorite honey straight away (and I’m kind of a connoisseur in terms of honeys). Its delicate taste virtually took me to Provence in mind and I could almost hear the cicada singing. My palate still remembers this amazing flavor…
