I made a glass of black balsam to honor the divine feminine.

This drink can be enjoyed during rituals, moon ceremonies, or simply whenever you wish to honor the divine feminine.

What is black balsam?

Black balsam is a traditional herbal liqueur from Latvia that is known for its complex, earthy taste.

Used as an invigorating tonic, black balsam is said to improve mood, boost the immune system, and improve digestion.

With those delicious and powerful medicinals, it’s easy to understand why. 

According to a legend, Empress Catherine the Great of Russia became ill during a visit to Latvia but was cured after drinking Riga Black Balsam.

What you'll need to make a glass of black balsam to honor the divine feminine

1 oz Riga Black Balsam

1 oz pomegranate juice (symbolizing fertility, femininity, and abundance)

1/2 oz rosewater (for love, beauty, and emotional healing)

1/2 oz honey syrup (sweetness, nurturing, and attraction)

1 oz cranberry juice (for protection and the connection to feminine cycles)

1-2 dashes orange bitters (for clarity and creative energy)

Dried herbs (for placing around the glass, to create a sacred circle)

Instructions

Mix equal parts honey and hot water until combined. Let it cool before use.

In a mixing glass, add black balsam, pomegranate juice, rosewater, honey syrup, cranberry juice, and orange bitters.

Stir to combine the ingredients without diluting the elixir too much, as this drink is meant to be sipped slowly.

Strain the mixture into a glass similar to the one shown.

Place fresh herbs around the glass as a ceremonial offering.

Before drinking, hold the glass and take a moment to focus on your intention to honor the divine feminine. Visualize the qualities of love, intuition, and strength within yourself.

Sip slowly, savoring the layered flavors as you reflect or meditate.

Lemon Cheesecake Recipe 🍋

Creamy and rich, this Lemon Cheesecake has a cookie crust and is topped with a tart lemon curd. If you are a lemon lover, this will be your favorite cheesecake recipe!

I have waxed poetic about my love of lemon for years and years now. If I had my choice between lemon or chocolate, I would choose lemon every time. Sweet or savory – lemon is just my favorite.

So I think I don’t even have to tell you about my love for this Lemon Cheesecake. I first posted this cheesecake back in 2008, then again in 2014. And yes – it totally deserves to be updated yet again.

This Lemon Cheesecake starts off with an animal cracker base versus a graham cracker base. And while I do think a graham cracker crust would be delicious, this animal cracker base totally sets this cheesecake apart from others. That is followed by a creamy lemon cheesecake. Once the cheesecake is baked and cooled, you add a homemade lemon curd to the top. Seriously – all of your lemon dreams coming true.

This cheesecake recipe is the perfect mix of sweet and tart and creamy. It’s perfect for entertaining, and perfect for holidays. I’m not kidding when I say this will be a new favorite – just read some of the comments below and you’ll see many others that agree with me!!

Ingredients

For the Crust:

Like I said above, the crust of this cheesecake is made with animal crackers instead of graham crackers. I really love this crust because it compliments the lemon well. You’ll need 5 ounces of the crackers, sugar, and melted butter. If you prefer a graham cracker crust, you can use that instead.

For the Cheesecake:

The cheesecake is made from lots of cream cheese, eggs, sugar, lemon zest and juice, vanilla, salt, and cream. I would not suggest using low fat ingredients here. You’ll want fresh squeezed lemon juice, so don’t use the juice from a jar.

For the Lemon Curd:

The recipe for this topping is a little different from my go-to lemon curd (which would also work) but I think this version is perfect for this cheesecake. You’ll need lemon juice (again – use freshly squeezed), eggs and an egg yolk, sugar, butter, cream, vanilla and salt.

How to Make a Lemon Cheesecake

Start with your crust: Process the animal crackers in a food processor until you have fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can crush the crackers in a bag, but you probably won’t be able to get them as fine. Add the sugar to the mixture, then stream in the butter.

Press the crumbs into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. I have tried putting the crumbs halfway up the sides, but I didn’t like the texture, so now I just keep them just on the bottom. Bake this for 13-15 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool.

Once the crust is cool, you will wrap your pan. Scroll down below for a few different methods to do this.

Next we are onto the filling. Get the food processor out again and pulse part of the sugar with the lemon zest. If you don’t have a food processor, use your fingers to rub the sugar and zest together. Stir in the rest of the sugar.

In a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese for a few seconds. Then add in the lemon sugar, and beat until smooth. Add the eggs, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt and mix to combine.

Give the batter one last stir on the sides and the bottom of the bowl to make sure everything has been incorporated.

Pour this into the crust. Now this goes into the oven to bake until it is just slightly jiggly in the middle, but the surface is no longer shiny. Turn the oven off and prop the door open with a towel or a wooden spoon and let the cheesecake sit in the oven to gradually cool for 1 hour.

While the cheesecake is baking, make your lemon curd. Heat the lemon juice until it is warm. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolk with the sugar. Then whisk the warm lemon juice into the egg mixture. (Make sure to whisk constantly so that you don’t scramble your eggs and end up with clumps.) Pour this mixture back into the pan, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Remove it from the heat and whisk in the butter, cream, vanilla, and salt.

Refrigerate this until you need it.

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edge. Let the cake sit at room temperature for 2 hours to cool completely.

Once cool, top the cheesecake with the lemon curd, then refrigerate for a minimum of 5 hours, but 24 hours is even better!

How to Create a Leak-Proof Water Bath for Cheesecake

I am a firm believer in a water bath. Not only is it the best way to avoid cracks in your cheesecake, but it helps to give you the best texture.

But I know many people curse them because sometimes water can leak in and ruin your whole cheesecake.

I have learned 2 different techniques to help you avoid that!

The first is to use the wide heavy duty foil. Normal foil is 12″ wide, while the wide heavy duty foil is 18″ wide. The 18 inches makes it so that you only have to use one sheet which means the water doesn’t have anywhere to sneak in.

The second technique, shown above, is actually something that I learned from one of you! Wrap your springform pan in a slow cooker liner, then add the foil to the outside of that to hold the bag in place. I was worried about oven temperatures at first, but the slow cooker bags are safe up to 400ﾺF. And it worked like a charm!

A few more tips when it comes to water baths:

Be careful when adding the water. You will need a baking dish or roasting pan that fits your springform pan and is at least 2 inches in depth. Even if you think you can walk the pan with the cheesecake and water in it to the oven without spilling or splashing, I still recommend taking the cheesecake and placing it in the baking dish, placing that in the oven and then carefully adding hot water to the dish.

If you are scared of the water bath or if you are too afraid of the water seeping into your cheesecake, I have heard of others who have had luck placing a pan of water on the rack under the cheesecake. I still think the actual water bath makes for a better cheesecake, but this method is a good alternate.

Tips and Tricks

Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature.

If your lemons are hard, you can roll them on a countertop, pressing them with the heel of your hand to loosen them up. Or pop them into the microwave for a few seconds.

Always zest the lemon before you juice it. It’s not easy to zest a lemon that has already been juiced!

The cheesecake needs to be fully chilled before serving.

Storing, Freezing, and Making Ahead

FREEZE: I have not personally ever frozen cheesecake, but research says it can be done. You’ll want to wrap it in both plastic wrap and foil, and then freeze it for only up to a month.

STORE: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Keep it covered so that it will not dry out. The crust will get soggier the longer you keep it, but it will still be good.

MAKE AHEAD: I love that this cheesecake can be made ahead of time, which makes it perfect for holidays. It is actually best when it has been in the refrigerator for a day, so it’s ideal to make it ahead! The original recipe says you can make it up to one day in advance, but I have successfully made it 2 days in advance without any issues.
