1. **Prepare the Raspberry Filling:**
– In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat.
– Stir until the raspberries break down and release their juices.
– Mix cornstarch with water, then add to the raspberry mixture. Cook until slightly thickened (~2 minutes).
– Strain to remove seeds (optional) and let cool completely.
2. **Make the Pistachio Cheesecake Mousse:**
– In a bowl, beat cream cheese, pistachio paste, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
– If using gelatin, bloom it in 1 tbsp cold water, then microwave for 10 seconds and stir into the mixture.
– Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until smooth.
3. **Assemble the Domes:**
– Fill half-sphere silicone molds halfway with the pistachio cheesecake mixture.
– Add a small spoonful of cooled raspberry filling to the center of each.
– Cover with more cheesecake mixture and smooth the tops.
– Freeze for 4–6 hours, or until firm enough to unmold.
4. **Prepare the Biscuit Base:**
– Combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and crushed pistachios.
– Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of each dome mold or onto a flat tray to form bases.
– Chill until set.
5. **Make the Mirror Glaze:**
– Bloom gelatin in 2 tablespoons of cold water.
– In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, and sweetened condensed milk. Heat until warm but not boiling.
– Stir in the bloomed gelatin until dissolved.
– Pour the mixture over melted white chocolate and blend until smooth.
– Add green gel food coloring to achieve desired shade.
– Cool the glaze to 32°C (90°F) before using.
6. **Glaze and Decorate:**
– Remove the frozen cheesecake domes from the molds and place them on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
– Pour the green mirror glaze over each dome, ensuring complete coverage.
– Let excess glaze drip off.
– Garnish with crushed pistachios, fresh raspberries, and edible gold leaf if desired.
– For best results, ensure the domes are frozen solid before glazing to achieve a smooth finish.
– Adjust the amount of green food coloring to achieve your preferred shade.
– Edible gold leaf adds an elegant touch but is optional.
– Store the finished domes in the refrigerator and consume within 2–3 days for optimal freshness.
