Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (120g) fresh raspberries, mashed
- 1/4 cup (30g) pistachios, finely chopped
- 1 cup (120g) pistachio nuts, shelled and finely ground
- 1/4 cup (30g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (120g) fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Whole raspberries and chopped pistachios for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to mix until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix again until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes on medium-high speed.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Once fully incorporated, fold in the mashed raspberries and chopped pistachios until evenly distributed. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the finely ground pistachios, granulated sugar, melted butter, and salt. Mix until well combined and resembles wet sand.
- Press the pistachio mixture firmly into the bottom of each silicone dome mold or muffin tin lined with cupcake liners, creating an even layer.
- Refrigerate the crust for about 15-20 minutes to firm up while preparing the raspberry sauce.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook, stirring gently, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Mash the raspberries for a smoother sauce if desired.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool completely. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a seedless sauce if preferred.
- Once the crust has set, spoon the cheesecake filling into each dome mold on top of the pistachio crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Drizzle a small amount of raspberry sauce over the cheesecake filling in each dome, swirling with a toothpick for a marbled effect if desired.
- Cover the molds with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate to set.
Notes
- For a more intense raspberry flavor, you can increase the amount of fresh raspberries in the filling.
- These cheesecake domes can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Feel free to customize the toppings with additional fruits or nuts as desired.
