Preparation Method
Step 1: Prepare the Filo Base
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a small baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Layer 4–5 filo sheets, brushing each with melted butter, then press into the base and slightly up the sides. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until lightly golden, then allow to cool.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Incorporate the condensed milk and Omani honey, mixing thoroughly. Add the cream and whisk until combined, then stir in the corn flour and rose water.
Step 3: Assemble
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled filo base and sprinkle evenly with crushed pistachios.
Step 4: Bake
Lower the oven temperature to 160°C and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until just set. Allow to cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar.
Step 5: Chill
Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 6: Garnish & Serve
Decorate with rose petals and additional pistachios. Slice gently and serve chilled.
