Instructions
-
Make the Raspberry Center:
In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and water. Simmer until raspberries break down. Stir in gelatin powder until dissolved. Pour into small dome molds or an ice cube tray and freeze until solid. -
Prepare Pistachio Cheesecake:
Bloom gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, pistachio paste, and vanilla until smooth. Heat gelatin briefly to dissolve and stir into the mixture. Fold in whipped cream. -
Assemble the Domes:
Fill silicone dome molds halfway with pistachio cheesecake. Press in a frozen raspberry insert, then top with more cheesecake mixture. Smooth the tops and freeze until firm (at least 4 hours or overnight). -
Make the Green Glaze:
Bloom gelatin. In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, and condensed milk, heating until just simmering. Remove from heat, stir in bloomed gelatin, white chocolate, and food coloring. Blend if needed for smoothness. Let cool to ~90°F (32°C). -
Glaze the Domes:
Unmold frozen domes and place on a wire rack over a tray. Pour glaze evenly over each dome. Allow excess to drip off. Transfer to a plate or serving board. -
Decorate and Serve:
Garnish with crushed pistachios and edible gold leaf. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Use high-quality pistachio paste for the best flavor.
The glaze must be the right temperature—too hot and it won’t coat properly; too cool and it won’t pour smoothly.
You can make the domes ahead of time and glaze the day of serving.
Silicone molds work best for easy unmolding.
