1252. Rangina Cheesecake

Rangina is an ancient Arabian Gulf dessert featuring mainly toasted flour, dates, and a hefty quantity of ghee. MCW holds three variations of the dessert: classic, cups, and balls. We now add to the repertoire this rangina cheesecake, which creatively harmonizes the fundamental ingredients into a modernized new take.
The base is formed from the toasted flour and ghee (butter in this case) traditionally used. Next, the date used can be either pitted fresh if you're lucky to be in the right season and have access, or pitted dried dates would do just fine. A dash of roughly chopped nuts is optional, but would not be out of place. The final layer is the cheese; chuck it all in the blender, whizz, pour, and bake. The standard cool and refrigerate overnight applies. However, do bring the cake to room temperature before serving so you won't have to deal with a cemented base.
