Ingredients
Scale
1 cup digestive biscuits or graham crackers
2 tablespoons finely chopped pistachios
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
2 tablespoons hot water to bloom (or follow gelatin package directions)
2 tablespoons cold water to dissolve
1/2 cup heavy cream, cold
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup raspberry puree or strained puree
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Make the crust: In a bowl, mix the crushed biscuits, chopped pistachios, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture clumps when pressed. Press firmly into the bottoms of mini silicone dome molds or a mini muffin tin. Chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes until set and glossy.
Prepare the filling: Beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt until completely smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold it gently into the cheese mixture until light and thick.
Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin over a small amount of hot water and stir until dissolved. Let it cool slightly, then whisk into the filling to ensure an even, silky texture.
Assemble the domes: Scoop or pipe the filling over the crusts, leaving a small well in the center if you plan to add topping. Smooth the tops and refrigerate while you prepare the raspberry layer.
Make the raspberry topping: In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, raspberry puree, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer gently until the mixture thickens and brightens, about 4–6 minutes. Strain to remove seeds for a smooth glaze. If you want a firmer top, whisk in a touch more dissolved gelatin and simmer briefly before cooling.
Top and chill: Spoon a small amount of the raspberry topping onto each dome and add a few extra raspberries or a sprinkle of crushed pistachios for garnish. Refrigerate at least 1–2 hours (or overnight) to ensure the domes are fully set and slice cleanly.
Unmold and serve: If you used silicone molds, gently press from the base to release. For a clean cut, run a warm towel around the outside of the mold just before unmolding.
