Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Chocolate Coating
- 8 oz dark chocolate, melted
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the base: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of silicone dome molds to form a thin, even crust layer. Chill the molds in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
- Make the cheesecake filling: Beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in fresh raspberries carefully to keep them intact.
- Whip the cream: Using a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese and raspberry mixture to achieve a light, fluffy consistency.
- Assemble the domes: Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker base in the molds, smoothing the tops with a spatula. Freeze the filled molds for at least 2 hours until firm.
- Remove the domes: Once fully set, carefully pop the cheesecake domes out of the silicone molds, taking care to maintain their shape.
- Prepare the chocolate coating: Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil using short bursts in a microwave or a double boiler until smooth and glossy.
- Coat the domes: Dip each cheesecake dome into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating all around. Place on a wire rack to allow the chocolate shell to set and harden completely.
- Garnish and serve: Once the chocolate coating is firm, optionally top each dome with a fresh mint leaf for color and freshness. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure the heavy cream bowl is chilled for better whipping results.
- Be gentle when folding in raspberries to avoid crushing them.
- You can substitute dark chocolate with semi-sweet chocolate if preferred.
- Freeze the domes long enough to ensure they hold their shape during coating.
- Store the finished domes in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
