Steps:
- Make the crust: Place pistachios in a food processor, and pulse until coarsely chopped. Reserve 1/4 cup, and place in a small bowl. Continue to pulse remaining pistachios until fine crumbs form, and transfer to a large bowl. Pulse graham crackers until large crumbs form (about 1 1/3 cups). Add graham cracker crumbs to pistachios and mix well. Stir in granulated sugar, salt, and butter until well combined. Pat crumb mixture into bottom of an 8-cup, 3- to 4-inch-deep souffle dish. Crust should be about 1 inch thick.
- Make the mousse: Make a collar for the dish by folding a 24-inch-long piece of parchment into a quadruple-thick strip about 4 inches wide. Wrap very tightly around rim of dish, and secure with tape, making sure there are no gaps between dish and parchment. The collar should come at least 3 inches above the top of dish. Place dish in refrigerator.
- Drain pineapple in a sieve, reserving syrup. You will need a scant 4 cups fruit and 2 3/4 cups syrup. (Add enough canned pineapple juice to syrup to reach that amount.) Pulse 1 cup pineapple chunks in a food processor until a coarse puree forms.
- Place gelatin in a medium bowl. Pour 1 cup pineapple syrup over gelatin, and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour boiling water over gelatin, and stir until smooth. Stir in lemon zest and juice, and the remaining 1 3/4 cups pineapple syrup.
- Prepare an ice-water bath. Beat cream cheese with a mixer until soft and smooth, about 3 minutes. Beat in sour cream and 1 cup confectioners' sugar until smooth. Slowly whisk in gelatin mixture until incorporated. Fold in pineapple chunks and puree.
- Whisk cream with remaining 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar until medium-soft peaks form. Fold into cream cheese mixture. Place bowl in ice-water bath. Stir until slightly thickened, but still pourable, and pineapple chunks no longer fall to the bottom, about 10 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, carefully scrape the bowl while stirring to chill mousse evenly.
- Place dish on a baking sheet, and pour mousse mixture into the dish, spooning in pineapple chunks. Gently smooth the top. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours (or overnight).
- Sprinkle the mousse with reserved 1/4 cup pistachios. Carefully remove collar from dish. Turn spoonfuls of mousse onto plates and serve with lime sabayon on the side.

Tips:
- To achieve the best results, make sure to use ripe and juicy pineapple.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute it with 1 cup of cold milk and 1/4 cup of butter, melted and cooled.
- To make the mousse even more refreshing, you can add a tablespoon of lime juice or lemon juice.
- For a more intense pistachio flavor, use roasted and salted pistachios.
- If you're short on time, you can skip the chilling step and serve the mousse immediately. However, chilling it for at least 2 hours will result in a firmer and more flavorful mousse.
- To make the mousse ahead of time, prepare it up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

This chilled pineapple mousse with pistachios is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts.
