Rosewater Ricotta Cheesecake

The ricotta cheese used in this cheesecake is homemade. The simple crust of pistachios and almonds gives way to a rosewater scented cheesecake spiced with cardamom. A creamy saffron, cardamom and rosewater sauce is poured over the cake and then topped with organic rose petals and a scattering of chopped nuts.
