Ingredients
Biscuit Base
- 3.5 ounces graham crackers or digestive biscuits, finely crushed
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 7 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pistachio extract or 2 tablespoons finely ground pistachios
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1 drop green food coloring
Raspberry Puree Layer
- 3/4 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
Garnish
- Optional: finely crushed pistachios
- Additional fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare Raspberry Puree: Blend 3/4 cup fresh raspberries with 1 tablespoon honey or sugar until smooth; set aside for layering.
- Make Biscuit Base: Mix finely crushed graham crackers with melted butter thoroughly, then press this mixture firmly into the base of silicone dome molds to create an even and compact layer.
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, pistachio extract (or ground pistachios), vanilla extract, and green food coloring if using. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Assemble Domes: Spoon half of the cheesecake filling evenly into each mold, then carefully add a thin layer of raspberry puree on top of the filling. Finally, add the remaining cheesecake filling on top and level the surface using a spatula.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the assembled domes for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and firm to touch.
- Unmold and Garnish: Gently remove the cheesecake domes from the silicone molds. Garnish each dome with finely crushed pistachios and additional fresh raspberries before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Pistachio extract adds a subtle but pronounced pistachio flavor; alternatively, finely ground pistachios can be used for texture and taste.
- Green food coloring is optional and mainly for a visual appeal to enhance the pistachio theme.
- Chilling time is essential for the domes to set properly—do not skip or reduce below 4 hours.
- Silicone dome molds are recommended for easy unmolding and beautiful presentation.
- For a sweeter raspberry layer, use sugar instead of honey according to your preference.
