Instructions
- Bloom gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and lime zest until combined. Press into dome molds to create the base layer.
- Beat cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, kiwi puree, lime juice, lime zest, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Warm a small portion of the cheesecake mixture and dissolve the bloomed gelatin. Fold it back into the remaining mixture until fully incorporated.
- Fill the molds over the biscuit base and smooth the tops. Freeze for at least 4 hours until completely firm.
- For the geode glaze, bloom gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes.
- Heat sweetened condensed milk and water until steaming. Remove from heat and stir in gelatin until dissolved.
- Pour over white chocolate and whisk until smooth. Add kiwi puree, lime juice, pearl luster dust, and green food coloring until a vibrant emerald shade is achieved.
- Allow the glaze to cool until slightly thickened but still pourable.
- Unmold the frozen cheesecake domes and place on a wire rack. Pour the emerald glaze evenly over each dome, allowing excess glaze to drip away.
- Sprinkle portions of crushed green rock candy onto selected areas to create a geode crystal effect.
- Transfer to serving plates and chill for 15 minutes before serving.
- Finish with crushed pistachios and fresh lime zest.
