• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 16 ounces Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and strawberry puree.
4. Pour the filling over the chilled Oreo crust and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the center is almost set. Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature before transferring it to the fridge.
5. In a small bowl, mix the rose water and a drop of pink food coloring (optional). Spread the mixture over the chilled cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
6. When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
