Lavender Honey Cheesecake image

I love the scent of lavender, and the edible flowers make this cheesecake one of the most spectacular I've tasted. You can use lavender honey in this recipe for extra flavor, but even without it, the lavender is very distinct. -Julie Palmer, Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania
