Ingredients
Scale
1 cup pistachio nuts, shelled
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Gelatin (optional for firmness)
Cake crumbs or pre-made cake for layering (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Pistachio Mousse: Blend the shelled pistachio nuts in a food processor until finely ground.
Whip the Heavy Cream: In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
Combine Cream Cheese and Pistachios: In another bowl, combine the cream cheese and ground pistachios, mixing until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream and vanilla extract until just combined.
Make the Raspberry Compote: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Assemble Your Dessert: To assemble, layer the pistachio mousse and raspberry compote in individual serving cups or a cake mold, alternating between layers. If using cake crumbs, you can add them between layers for texture.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least two hours or until set. Serve chilled and enjoy the layers of flavor!
Notes
Pairs well with herbal tea or Prosecco. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
