Rose Cheese Cake Recipes

ROSE WATER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
• Cream sugar and butter for cake together in a bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt separately, then add to mix, and cream together. Stir in half-and-half and rose water. Add a few drops of food coloring to turn pinkish (or whatever color you want). Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
• While cake cools, beat confectioners' sugar and butter with an electric mixer on low speed, then increase speed to medium for about 3 minutes. Add half-and-half and vanilla extract and beat for 1 minute more. Add more half-and-half if frosting is too thick. Frost cooled cake.

ROSE CHEESE CAKE

Steps:

• Mix the biscuit crumbs and butter really well, then press on the base of a loose-bottomed 20cm cake tin. Chill.
• Mix the strawberry with sugar and 1 tablespoon of Cointreau and gently simmering until becamo clear.
• Put cold water in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the gelatine and leave to soak for 5 mins until spongy. Then sqeeze gelatine and put on fire in a litlle bowl with the strawberry souce, add another teaspoon of Cointreau and gently simmering until it turns clear. Put the result in the silicon rose pan (we use the Silikomart Pan, an italian company that sell around the world) and put in the fridge.
• Beat the egg yolk with sugar than add ricotta cheese and orange, lemon and lime zest. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into cheese mixture adding whipped sour cream then stir in the gelatine and fold in the cream. Add the dough at the jelly already fridged and finally cover with the biscuit. Freeze all for 24 h.

NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Stir the graham cracker crust ingredients together. Pour into a 9-inch or 10-inch springform pan and pack in very tightly. The tighter it's packed, the less likely it will fall apart when cutting the cheesecake. I recommend using the bottom of a measuring cup to pack it into the bottom and up the sides. You can watch me do this in the video above. Freeze for 10-20 minutes as you prepare the filling.
• Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the cold heavy cream into stiff peaks on medium-high speed, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.
• Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together on medium speed until perfectly smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the confectioners' sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat for 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed until smooth and combined. Make sure there are no large lumps of cream cheese. If there are lumps, keep beating until smooth.
• Using your mixer on low speed or a rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake filling until combined. This takes several turns of your rubber spatula. Combine slowly as you don't want to deflate all the air in the whipped cream.
• Remove crust from the freezer and spread filling into crust. Use an offset spatula to smooth down the top.
• Cover tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours and up to 2 days. For best results, 12 hours is best. I chill mine overnight. The longer refrigerated, the nicer the no-bake cheesecake will set up.
• Use a knife to loosen the chilled cheesecake from the rim of the springform pan, then remove the rim. Using a clean sharp knife, cut into slices for serving. For neat slices, wipe the knife clean between each slice.
• Serve cheesecake with desired toppings (see Note). Cover and store leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

LAVENDER CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F
• Coat the sides of a 9-inch springform pan with a couple tablespoons of butter or use non-stick spray.
• Combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a large bowl and add the melted butter and toss with a fork until evenly moistened. The mixture should look like damp sand and clump together when squeezed.
• Tip the crumbs into the prepared pan and press them evenly up the sides, then spread the remaining crumbs over the bottom. Press down firmly with the flat bottom of a measuring cup or the flat bottom of a glass.
• Transfer the pan to the hot oven and bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove and set on a cooling rack while preparing the custard.
• Once the pan has cooled, set the pan inside a slow-cooker liner or turkey roasting bag, roll the top of the bag down to the edge of the pan so that the top of the cheesecake is not covered. Tie the bag snuggly around the top with a twisty wire. The oven-proof bag will prevent water from seeping into the springform pan. Set the prepared water-proof pan inside a larger, deep-sided pan such as a roasting pan.
• Chop or grind the dried lavender buds and reserve. (See Notes)
• Add the cream cheese and sugar to a mixing bowl, a stand mixer if possible, and beat on medium-low speed for 1 minute until smooth. Add the cornstarch, salt, sour cream and vanilla. Beat on medium-low speed for another minute until creamy. Stop the motor and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula.
• With the mixer speed still on medium-low, beat for another minute while adding the eggs and yolks, one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Do not over mix.
• Fold in the chopped lavender buds with a spatula, tasting for flavor.
• Pour the custard into the cooled crust, transfer both pans to the oven. Pour hot water into the outside pan until it reaches 2/3 up the springform pan. Bake the cheesecake for 50-55 minutes, then turn off the oven and crack the door open or prop it open with a wooden spoon. Let the cheesecake cool slowly for 1 hour then carefully transfer both pans from the oven and lift the cheesecake from the water bath. Remove the oven bag from around the springform pan.
• Let the cheesecake cool for another 30 minutes.
• Increase the oven temperature to 400°F
• Combine the sour cream, sugar, and vanilla until the sugar has been dissolved. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the top of the cheesecake. Transfer to the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 1-2 hours then cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight. (See notes)
• To remove from the pan, run a thin sharp knife around the inside of the pan, loosen the metal side ring and transfer the cake to a serving plate.
• To serve, use a thin sharp knife dipped in hot water then wiped dry, slice into wedges.

HOLLYWOOD CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Grease a 9-inch spring-form pan with shortening. Sift crumbs with cinnamon, combine with sugar and butter, and cover sides and bottom of pan.
• Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Cream the cheese. Add sugar, eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Pour into crumb-lined pan and bake for about 40 minutes. Remove and let cool for about 15 minutes.
• Raise heat to 425 degrees. Mix sour cream, sugar and vanilla until well blended. Spread over the filling and bake for about ten minutes. Remove from oven and let stand at room temperature for about five hours before serving.
