In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until the berries break down and release their juice.
Strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds and return the smooth purée to the pan.
In a small bowl, bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it over cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm purée and stir until dissolved completely.
Pour into small silicone molds or a mini ice cube tray (something smaller than the dome mold), filling about halfway.
Freeze for at least 2 hours or until solid.
Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-lock bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Mix in melted butter until evenly combined.
Press the mixture into a baking tray lined with parchment paper to about 1 cm thickness.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up, then use a round cutter to cut out bases that match the size of the dome bottoms.
Keep refrigerated until needed.
In a bowl, bloom gelatin in cold water and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and pistachio paste; mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold it into the pistachio mixture.
Melt the bloomed gelatin gently in the microwave (about 10 seconds), then mix it into the cheesecake filling thoroughly.
Chill the mixture for 10–15 minutes so it thickens slightly and is easier to pipe or spoon into molds.
Spoon or pipe the pistachio cheesecake filling into the silicone dome molds, filling each about 2/3 full.
Press a frozen raspberry gelée insert into the center of each, ensuring it is completely surrounded by filling.
Add a bit more cheesecake filling on top to cover the insert.
Gently press a prepared biscuit base onto each dome to seal the bottom.
Smooth the edges and freeze the domes for at least 4 hours or until firm enough to unmold cleanly.
Option 1: Mirror Glaze Finish
Prepare or use store-bought mirror glaze.
Once the domes are completely frozen, place them on a wire rack and pour the glaze over the domes, allowing excess to drip off.
Let glaze set for a few minutes, then transfer to a serving plate.
Option 2: Rustic Finish
Let the domes defrost slightly, then dust with crushed pistachios, decorate with freeze-dried raspberries, or top with a fresh raspberry and a mint leaf.
Let the domes thaw in the refrigerator for 2–3 hours before serving.
