Bringing a little extra sweetness to the festival of lights with these Gulab Jamun Cheesecake Bars. The perfect fusion of creamy, floral cheesecake and syrupy gulab jamuns — basically Diwali in dessert form!
Combine crushed biscuits with melted butter and press into a lined baking pan to form your crust. In another bowl, beat together cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, cardamom, and rose water until smooth and creamy. Spread this over the crust, gently press in the halved gulab jamuns, and drizzle with syrup. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight until set, then cut into bars and top with pistachios. Serve chilled and enjoy that perfect creamy, spiced bite!
