Instructions

  1. Bloom gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes.
  2. Mix biscuit crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon until combined. Press into silicone dome molds to form the base layer.
  3. Whip cream cheese, mascarpone, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, pistachio paste, and salt until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Warm a small portion of the mixture and dissolve the bloomed gelatin, then fold it back into the full cheesecake mixture.
  5. Fill molds halfway with cheesecake mixture.
  6. Spoon a small amount of honey mixed with lemon juice and vanilla into the center to create the hidden core. Cover with remaining cheesecake mixture and smooth tops.
  7. Freeze for at least 4 hours until fully set.
  8. For the geode glaze, bloom gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes.
  9. Heat sugar, water, and corn syrup until fully dissolved and clear. Remove from heat and stir in gelatin, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and green food coloring until glossy emerald.
  10. Allow glaze to cool until thick but pourable.
  11. Unmold frozen domes and place on a wire rack. Pour emerald glaze over each dome to create a crystal geode finish.
  12. Let excess drip off, then transfer to serving plates.
  13. Finish with crushed pistachios, edible gold dust, and white chocolate shards.
