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.
