Hidden Springs Honey Lavender Cheesecake

Hidden Springs Honey Lavender Cheesecake

We decided to experiment with our cheeses when we first purchased the creamery, we wanted to make a cheesecake using Driftless and since it was springtime, Honey Lavender sounded like the perfect choice. It turned out amazing and has been a family go to all year long. We hope you like it as much as we do,
Amy!
