Instructions
-
Prepare the Pistachio Cheesecake Filling:
Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the finely ground pistachios, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully combined and set aside. -
Make the Raspberry Compote:
In a saucepan, cook the raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water over medium heat. Stir occasionally until thickened. Strain the mixture to remove seeds and let cool. -
Prepare the Chocolate Shell:
Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl. Coat silicone molds with a layer of the melted chocolate and refrigerate until set. -
Assemble the Domes:
Once the chocolate shell has set, add a layer of pistachio cheesecake filling, followed by a spoonful of the raspberry compote. Seal the domes with more melted chocolate and refrigerate until fully set (1-2 hours). -
Serve:
Carefully remove the domes from the silicone molds. Garnish with fresh raspberries and chopped pistachios. Serve chilled.
Notes
Use milk or white chocolate for a sweeter chocolate shell.
Substitute raspberries with strawberries, blueberries, or even blackberries for a different compote flavor.
For a unique twist, try adding almond or cardamom to the pistachio cheesecake filling.
The domes can be stored for up to 3 days in the fridge or frozen for up to 1 month.
