• Cream Cheese: Opt for full-fat cream cheese for a rich texture that melts in your mouth.
• Pistachios: Choose unsalted roasted pistachios for that perfect crunch and flavor.

• Sugar: Granulated sugar is essential for balancing flavors and adding sweetness.
• Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract amplifies the dessert’s flavor profile beautifully.

Let’s Make it together

Prepare Your Molds: Start by greasing your silicone dome molds lightly with cooking spray to ensure easy removal later. This is crucial if you want to avoid a sticky situation.

Create the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter. Mix until it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of each mold to create a solid base.

Make the Filling: Beat softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and fluffy. The mixture should look invitingly creamy—like clouds in dessert form!

Add Flavor: Gently fold in chopped pistachios and fresh raspberries into the cream cheese mixture. The colors should swirl beautifully like a painting begging to be devoured.

Incorporate Whipping Cream: Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form; then fold this delicately into your cheesecake mixture. This is where magic happens—your filling will become light as air!

Set the Cheesecake: Pour the filling into each mold over the graham cracker base. Smooth out the tops with a spatula and cover them tightly before placing them into the freezer to set for at least four hours.

Once set, carefully remove each dome from its mold by gently pushing from underneath—like unveiling hidden treasures!

Now that you’ve made these fabulous Pistachio & Raspberry Cheesecake Domes, why not celebrate? Serve them chilled with a dollop of whipped cream on top or drizzle some melted chocolate if you’re feeling particularly decadent.

These little delights are bound to impress everyone at your next gathering or simply serve as your guilt-free indulgence after a long day!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by preparing your cheesecake filling while the crust bakes. This way, everything comes together seamlessly, ensuring a perfectly set dessert.
