Preparation
- In a medium saucepan, combine whole milk, poppy seeds, fine semolina, and powdered sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 5-7 minutes until thickened.
- Remove from heat, stir in melted butter, and pour into the prepared springform pan lined with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend cream cheese until creamy. Add eggs, powdered sugar, corn flour, lemon zest, lemon extract, and crème fraîche. Mix until smooth.
- Pour creamy cheesecake filling over the poppy seed base. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F) and bake for approximately 60 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for about an hour. Transfer to room temperature until completely cooled, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Before serving, drizzle with honey and lemon glaze, slice, and serve with fresh berries or a light fruit compote.

Notes
For a richer flavor, let the cheesecake sit overnight in the fridge to allow the flavors to deepen.
