Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 cup pistachios, ground
  • 1/2 cup graham crumbs
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp pistachio paste

Raspberry Center

  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Decoration

  • 1/4 cup white chocolate, melted
  • Additional pistachios for garnish
  • Fresh raspberries for garnish


Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine the ground pistachios, graham crumbs, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into molds, ensuring an even base layer. Place the molds in the refrigerator to chill and set while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the raspberry center: In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the raspberries with sugar and lemon juice until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Set aside and cool completely.
  3. Prepare the cheesecake filling: Beat the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar and continue beating. Add the egg, vanilla extract, sour cream, and pistachio paste, mixing until the filling is uniform and silky.
  4. Assemble the domes: Spoon a layer of cheesecake filling over the chilled crusts in the molds. Add a spoonful of the cooled raspberry mixture in the center of each dome. Carefully cover the raspberry center with more cheesecake filling and smooth the tops evenly.
  5. Bake the domes: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the molds on a baking sheet and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the edges are set and the centers remain slightly jiggly. Remove from oven and let cool gradually to room temperature.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake domes for at least 4 hours or until fully set and firm to the touch.
  7. Decorate and serve: Carefully unmold the cheesecake domes. Drizzle melted white chocolate over each dome. Garnish with additional chopped pistachios and fresh raspberries. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Be gentle when unmolding the domes to maintain their shape.
  • You can substitute pistachio paste with finely ground pistachios if unavailable.
  • Chilling the crust before adding the filling helps maintain its structure.
  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture in the center and garnish.
