Ingredients

Scale

For the Pistachio Cheesecake:

  • 8 ounces (225 g) softened cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup pistachio paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream, whipped
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

For the Raspberry Center:

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin powder

For the Green Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup melted white chocolate
  • 2 teaspoons gelatin powder
  • Green gel food coloring (to taste)

For Decoration:

  • Edible gold leaf
  • Crushed pistachios

Instructions

  1. Make the Raspberry Center:

    • Combine raspberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the raspberries break down.
    • Strain the mixture to remove seeds, then return the smooth puree to the saucepan.
    • Sprinkle gelatin over 1 tablespoon of cold water to bloom. Stir it into the warm puree until fully dissolved.
    • Pour the mixture into small silicone molds or ice cube trays and freeze until firm.
      Pro Tip: Use silicone molds for easy removal of the raspberry centers.

    2. Prepare the Pistachio Cheesecake:

    • Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
    • In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, pistachio paste, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
    • Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 10 seconds to dissolve, then mix it into the cheesecake base.
    • Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold it into the cheesecake mixture.

    3. Assemble the Domes:

    • Fill half-sphere silicone molds halfway with the pistachio cheesecake mixture.
    • Place a frozen raspberry center in the middle of each mold and cover with more cheesecake mixture, smoothing the tops.
    • Freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely firm.
      Pro Tip: Freezing ensures the domes hold their shape when unmolded.

    4. Prepare the Green Glaze:

    • Bloom gelatin in 2 tablespoons of cold water.
    • In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, and sweetened condensed milk. Heat until warm (but not boiling).
    • Stir the bloomed gelatin into the saucepan and pour it over melted white chocolate.
    • Add green gel food coloring and blend the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. Let the glaze cool to 90°F (32°C) before using.

    5. Glaze the Domes:

    • Remove the frozen cheesecake domes from the molds and place them on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
    • Pour the green glaze evenly over each dome, ensuring complete coverage. Let excess glaze drip off.

    6. Decorate:

    • Once the glaze sets, garnish the domes with edible gold leaf and crushed pistachios for a luxurious finish.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
  • Make-Ahead: You can prepare the raspberry centers and pistachio cheesecake mixture a day ahead of time, making assembly faster.
  • Decoration Tip: Be gentle when applying edible gold leaf, as it’s delicate. Use tweezers to place it on top.
