Jasmine Pistachio Cheesecake for Rosa

This time is Rosa from Rosas-yummy-yums turn, She’s a cat lover, who’s also still in love with her mountain bike (I guess living in Switzerland has something to do with it 
) and on her darker side she’s her PC abuser 
For her, I made a mid-east inspired cheesecake, with a good dose of pistachios and exotic floral aroma. If you want a cheesecake recipe, you can find Rosa’s Strawberry cheesecake recipe here.

Sounds like Rosa had a hard time choosing favourites with those long lists! Pistachio and jasmine sounds like a beautifully exotic cheesecake, and I love the flower on top.

Oh yummmmmmm! If Rosa doesn’t take this I’ll gladly do it! It looks scrumptious! But I know she’ll love it and maybe eat it all not leaving anything to me…
