Ingredients

Scale

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin, dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water
  • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled

For the Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

For Assembly and Garnish

  • Fresh raspberries (about 1 cup)
  • Additional melted chocolate for drizzling (optional)
  • Cocoa powder for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust: Crush graham crackers finely then mix with melted butter and sugar. Press firmly into silicone dome molds forming an even base layer. Chill molds to set the crust while preparing the filling.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Gently melt the semi-sweet chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently. Allow to cool slightly while keeping it pourable for blending into the filling.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and the dissolved gelatin mixture. Carefully fold in the melted chocolate until well combined and glossy.
  4. Assemble the Domes: Pour a layer of cheesecake filling over the crust in the molds, place a few fresh raspberries in the center, then cover with more filling until the mold is full. Smooth the top with a spatula to form an even dome shape.
  5. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the filled molds for at least 4-6 hours or overnight to allow the domes to fully set and firm up.
  6. Unmold and Garnish: Carefully release the cheesecake domes from the silicone molds. Decorate with fresh raspberries, a drizzle of melted chocolate, or a light dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps for a smooth batter.
  • Use silicone molds for easy and clean unmolding without cracking the domes.
  • Always bloom gelatin in cold water before use for proper texture and dissolving.
  • Select ripe but firm raspberries to prevent excess moisture and preserve dome structure.
  • Allow melted chocolate to cool slightly before mixing with cream cheese to prevent curdling.
