This recipe is comin up roses! Full of flavor with the subtle use of Rose Syrup, this delicate cheesecake is steam cooked in the Instant Pot.

This creamy Cheesecake starts off with an Oreo base. Then a creamy cheesy batter is lightened with sour cream and eggs and enhanced with a Rose syrup. It’s baked in the Instant Pot, cooled overnight and then served with a dollop of ice cream, almonds and dried Rose petals.

If you’ve never used this ingredient before, this is a Rose syrup that comes from Pakistan and is used in many sherbets and desserts. It is a concentrated syrup made from fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers and roots with sweet rose scent. You can find this in Arabic, Indian, Pakistani and speciality stores. If you can’t find it you can buy this from my Amazon store.
