Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 1.5 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cups crushed pistachios, toasted for extra flavor
  • a sprinkle salt
For the Raspberry Sauce
  • 1 cups fresh raspberries plus extra for topping
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
For the Dome Molds
  • 1 package silicone dome molds
  • edible gold leaf for decoration

Method
 

Prepare the Raspberry Sauce
  1. Combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Make the Cheesecake Mixture
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Add the crushed pistachios, stirring until evenly combined.
Assemble the Domes
  1. Spoon the cheesecake mixture into each mold, filling them about halfway.
  2. Add a layer of raspberry sauce on top before filling the rest of the mold with more cheesecake mixture.
  3. Smooth the tops gently with a spatula, then cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.
Unmold and Garnish
  1. Carefully remove the cheesecake domes from the molds.
  2. Top each dome with fresh raspberries and a delicate flake of gold leaf.

Notes

These cheesecake domes can be made ahead of time. Just remember to take them out of the freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
