- In a medium saucepan, combine milk, poppy seeds, fine semolina, and 100g of powdered sugar. Cook while stirring until thick, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in melted butter and set aside to cool.
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and prepare your springform pan lined with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to combine cream cheese, remaining ingredients including eggs, powdered sugar, corn flour, lemon zest, lemon extract, and creme fraiche until smooth.
- Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled poppy seed base in the lined springform pan.
- Bake for about 1 hour, or until golden brown on top and the edges are set.
- Allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Optional: Prepare a honey and lemon glaze to drizzle over the cheesecake before serving.

Notes
For the best results, allow the cheesecake to cool completely before chilling, and use a hot knife for clean slices.
