Blueberry Lavender Cheesecake

colorfulsuperfoodie
When the flowers start to bloom and the weather gets warmer during Spring, I love making fruity floral desserts like this Blueberry Lavender Cheesecake. This recipe requires no baking and is really easy to whip up. The flavor notes of the sweet juicy blueberries pair so well the floral notes from dried lavender. This recipe is made without any dairy, gluten, grains, or refined sugars which makes it a healthier dessert option to enjoy. Not only is this cheesecake delicious but it looks so beautiful and will be the showstopper at any friend/family gathering.
