This lavender lemon cheesecake bars recipe post is sponsored in conjunction with #SpringSweetsWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to help in the creation of the #SpringSweetsWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

These delicious lavender lemon cheesecake bars are quintessentially spring. A gentle lemon zing and a subtle lavender flavor come together in the creamiest of fillings and it all rests on a ginger cookie crust.
