Ina’s Tip
Rosewater available in pharmacies and supermarkets differ in strength. Do taste rosewater before use, the dosage may vary from 2,5 ml to 10 ml. Start by adding 2,5 ml and if necessary scale it up.
Method:
Line a round 20 cm loose bottom cake tin with baking paper. Spray the sides with a non-stick spray. Mix the biscuit crumbs with the butter and keep to one side. Pour the water and rosewater into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle the Cheesecake Mix over and beat until well blended with an electric beater.
Add cream cheese, beat again. Using the same beaters, but in a separate bowl, whip the cream until just firm and fold it gently into the cheesecake mixture using a spatula or metal spoon. Divide the mixture in half. Colour one half pink and add the diced Turkish Delight.
Blend the pink and white cheesecake mixtures very lightly together using a spatula, so that a streaky, marbled effect is achieved. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the tin. Sprinkle the buttered crumbs over the mixture, press them down and smooth gently with the back of a spoon.
Leave to set for at least 6 hours or overnight in the fridge. To turn out, run a knife around the insides of the tin to loosen the cake. Place a flat serving plate upside down over the loose-bottom tin and invert the cake onto the plate.
Push the cake out and remove the base. Peel away the baking paper, which will now be on top of the cake. Garnish with sifted icing sugar and grated white chocolate or some rose petals.
