Description
Delightful cheesecake domes with a rich pistachio flavor and a sweet raspberry center, perfect for special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
- 250 g cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp pistachio paste (or finely ground pistachios)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold heavy cream
- 120 g digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed (optional)
- 4 tbsp melted butter (optional)
- Chopped pistachios (for decoration, optional)
- White chocolate or mirror glaze (for decoration, optional)
- Fresh raspberries (for decoration, optional)
Instructions
- In a pot over medium heat, cook the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice until softened. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add it to the pot and stir until thickened. Spoon mixture into mini molds and freeze for 1–2 hours.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth in a mixing bowl. Add powdered sugar, pistachio paste, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whip cold cream until soft peaks form and fold into the mixture.
- Fill silicone dome molds halfway with the cheesecake mixture. Place one frozen raspberry center into each dome and cover with more cheesecake. Smooth the top and freeze for 4–6 hours.
- If desired, mix crushed biscuits with melted butter and press onto the frozen cheesecake domes. Freeze for an additional 30 minutes.
- Carefully unmold the domes and decorate with chopped pistachios, glaze, or fresh raspberries. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing. You can replace the pistachio paste with almond or hazelnut paste for different flavors.
