This was so easy to make, and it turned out so well! I used fresh raspberries from my garden, and they were perfect. The white chocolate ganache was rich and creamy, and the pistachio crust added a nice touch of flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of raspberries, but this dessert changed my mind. The tartness of the berries was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the white chocolate. I loved the crunch of the pistachios, too.
