Roselle Cheesecake 洛神花乳酪蛋糕

This was my 1st time experimented with Roselle ( some may called as Hibiscus or Ribena flowers). I made this Roselle cheesecake about a month ago, at that time, wet maket was flooded with a lot of fresh Roselle. I saw many bloggers made into Roselle jam or syrup. But for me, when i saw Roselle in the market, remind me of the nice and crunchy picked Roselle that i ate from a piece of expensive (RM30 for a slice) Raspberry Pistachio Cheesecake during my trip to Melbourne. Instead of using expensive and imported raspberries, i replaced it with Roselle in this cheesecake.

In fact, I wanted to make this cake again before i post it here. I want to re-confirm the amount of all ingredients as I was busy when making this cheesecake, no proper record down the exact amount of ingredients and also no time to take photos of the steps and even a photo of the fresh Roselle. But too bad, when i want to make this cake again, i can't find any Roselle in the market anymore.

My daughter said the Roselle filling tasted similar like blueberry..I feel the filling is a bit thick, next time i want to use the filling recipe and make it to a layer of Roselle jelly instead.
But the pickled roselle worth a try, because it was crunchy, tangy and sweet.

For this recipe, not all amount of the ingredients are accurate recorded, especially the amount of water..When i make this cake again next time, i will revise this recipe.
