Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Base
Using a food processor, crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. In a bowl, combine the biscuit crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the base. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and continue to mix until well combined. Next, fold in the whipped cream gently, ensuring the mixture remains airy.
Step 3: Add Rose Flavour
Incorporate rose water into the cheesecake mixture, adjusting the amount to taste. If using, add a few drops of pink food coloring and mix until evenly distributed, achieving your desired shade.
Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled biscuit base, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the countertop to remove any air bubbles. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
Step 5: Decorate the Cheesecake
Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Decorate the top with whipped cream, edible rose petals, and any other desired toppings.
Step 6: Serve
Slice the cheesecake and serve chilled. Enjoy the delightful flavors of rose and creamy cheesecake!
