• For the Orange and Vanilla Topping:

Directions:

1. Start by preheating the oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
2. For the Parmesan & Garlic Base: In a mixing bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, melted butter, and garlic powder. Mix well until it forms a dough-like consistency.
3. Press the Parmesan mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes and then let it cool completely.
4. For the Rose Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese with granulated sugar until it's smooth and creamy.
5. Add the eggs to the mix, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
6. Stir in the heavy cream, rose water, and rose extract until it's well combined.
7. Pour the rose cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust and spread it evenly.
8. Bake it for 40-45 minutes or until the edges are set, but the center is still slightly jiggly.
9. For the Orange and Vanilla Topping: Mix together sour cream and granulated sugar in a small bowl.
10. Stir in the orange zest and vanilla extract.
11. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Pour the topping over the cooled cheesecake and spread it evenly using a spatula.
12. Refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight.
13. Serve the Cheesy Rose Dream chilled and enjoy every delicious bite!
