- 4 tablespoons (60 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon (12 grams) granulated sugar
Flavoring and Optional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon rose water
- Few drops pink food coloring
Instructions
- Blend cream cheese and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until achieving a velvety, smooth consistency.

- Whip heavy cream in a separate vessel, creating stiff, elegant peaks.
- Tenderly fold whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture, maintaining its airy texture.
- Optionally, enhance the color palette with a few strategic drops of pink food coloring.
- Transfer the luxurious filling into rose-shaped silicone molds, meticulously smoothing the surface.
- Ensure a small vacant space remains at the top for the upcoming chocolate layer.
- Refrigerate the molds for approximately 2 hours, or until completely solidified.
- Craft the chocolate crust by combining cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar into a cohesive mixture.
- Extract the frozen cheesecakes and delicately layer the chocolate crust, pressing gently to secure.
- Return to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes to stabilize the layers.
- Expertly release the cheesecakes from their silicone constraints.
- Allow the delicate desserts to rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before presentation.
- Embellish with fresh strawberry slices, ethereal rose petals, or a graceful chocolate drizzle.
Notes
- Swap dairy ingredients with vegan alternatives like coconut cream cheese and plant-based whipping cream for a dairy-free version.
- Use gluten-free chocolate cookies to make the crust suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Replace regular sugar with monk fruit or stevia for a low-sugar option that maintains the delicate flavor profile.
- Try different flavor extracts like lavender or almond to create unique variations of this romantic dessert.
