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 this puree aside for layering.
- Create Biscuit Base: Mix the finely crushed graham crackers with melted butter, then press this mixture firmly into the base of silicone dome molds to form an even layer.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth; then add powdered sugar, pistachio extract or ground pistachios, vanilla extract, and optionally green food coloring. Mix thoroughly until fully combined.
- Assemble Domes: Spoon half of the cheesecake filling into each mold, spread a thin layer of raspberry puree over it, then add the remaining filling on top, leveling the surface neatly.
- Chill: Refrigerate the domes for at least 4 hours, or until they are fully set and firm to the touch.
- Unmold and Garnish: Carefully remove the cheesecake domes from the molds, then garnish with crushed pistachios and additional fresh raspberries before serving.
Notes
- Use silicone dome molds for easy unmolding of the cheesecake domes.
- If pistachio extract is unavailable, finely ground pistachios work well to infuse flavor.
- The cheesecake should be chilled for a minimum of 4 hours, but overnight refrigeration will improve firmness and flavor.
- Green food coloring is optional and used solely for aesthetic purposes.
- For a natural sweetener alternative, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave syrup.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to achieve a smooth filling.
