Rolanberry Cheesecake ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Rolanberry Cheesecake is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Rolanberry Cheese ×2, Gelatin ×1 and Sweet Cream ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 7 units, plus 12 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,963 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 599 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 7 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 7 Fire Shard, 3 Fire Crystal and 2 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 6 intermediate up to the Lv 50 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

3 of the 6 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Honey Lemon (5:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Sweet Cream has the widest use: 26 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
