For the Pistachio Cheesecake

½ cup heavy cream

⅓ cup powdered sugar

⅓ cup pistachio paste or finely ground pistachios

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Raspberry Center

½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries

1½ tbsp sugar

1 tsp lemon juice

For the Base (Optional)

¾ cup crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits

3 tbsp melted butter

For Garnish (Optional)

Chopped pistachios

Directions

Prepare the Raspberry Surprise

In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until the berries break down and slightly thicken. Let cool completely.

Make the Cheesecake Base (Optional)

Mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter. Press lightly into silicone dome molds or the base of serving cups. Chill for 10 minutes.

Prepare the Pistachio Cheesecake

In a bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add pistachio paste and vanilla, mixing well. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold into the pistachio mixture until light and fluffy.

Assemble the Domes

Spoon pistachio cheesecake mixture halfway into dome molds. Add a small spoon of cooled raspberry filling in the center. Cover with more cheesecake mixture and smooth the tops.

Chill

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Serve

Carefully unmold the domes. Garnish with chopped pistachios and fresh raspberries before serving.
