How to Make Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes

Ingredients

1 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup pistachios, finely ground
1/2 cup raspberries
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp gelatin
2 tbsp water
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tbsp melted butter

Directions

Start by mixing the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of your molds to create a crust, then chill them in the refrigerator.
Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it over water. Let it sit for a few minutes until it’s swollen.
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
Melt the bloomed gelatin in the microwave or on the stove, then mix it into the cheesecake batter.
Add the ground pistachios and fresh raspberries to the mixture and stir gently.
Pour the cheesecake mix into the prepared molds and freeze until firm.
Once frozen, unmold the domes and serve.
