Step 1: Whip the Cream
In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Base
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in sweetened condensed milk, rose water, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and creamy. If using food coloring, add a drop or two now.Dairy & Eggs
Step 3: Fold It All Together
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture using a spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to deflate the cream.
Step 4: Add Pistachios
Stir in the chopped pistachios, saving a few for the top.
Step 5: Freeze
Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container. Sprinkle remaining pistachios and rose petals on top. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until solid.
