RASPBERRY SAUCE
2 pkg frozen raspberries in syrup, 10 oz. each, thawed
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 c water
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
OPT 2 tablespoons chambord raspberry liqueur
SEMIFREDDO
6 large eggs, separated
2/3 c sugar
1 lb mascarpone cheese
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp grated lemon zest
4 oz grated high quality 60 - 70% cacao chocolate
fresh raspberries for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. In a food processor or blender, puree the thawed raspberries.
  • 2. Working over a saucepan, force the puree through a fine sieve to remove the seeds. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  • 3. Stir the cornstarch with the water in a small cup and then stir it into the raspberries. Stir in the lemon juice. Simmer the sauce unti it is thickened and smooth.
  • 4. Remove from heat and stir in the Chambord if desired. Cool completely, then cover and refrigerate. This raspberry sauce can be made 2 days in advance if needed.
  • 5. Line a bundt pan with plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of overhang. Put it in the freezer while preparing the semifreddo.
  • 6. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is thick and pale, then beat in the mascarpone, the vanilla, and the lemon zest.
  • 7. Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Then fold them gently, but thoroughly into the mascarpone/egg mixture.
  • 8. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of the grated chocolate evenly onto the bottom of the chilled bundt pan.
  • 9. Spoon half the mascarpone mixture into the pan, sprinkle evenly with the remaining chocolate. Then spoon in the remaining mascarpone mixture and smooth it carefully
  • 10. Fold the plastic wrap over the mixture and place the pan in the freezer for at least 8 hours or overnight. Unmold the semifreddo onto a serving platter. Garnish with fresh raspberries and drizzling some sauce over the semifreddo.
  • 11. Slice to serve and drizzle with more raspberry sauce.

MASCARPONE CHEESE SEMIFREDDO

Ice-cream alternative using mascarpone cheese instead of cream. Unlike traditional custard based ice-creams, this one doesn't need any cooking. It is so simple to do, my 10 year old daughter Lauren can more or less make it herself. :)

Time 3h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 eggs, separated
500 g mascarpone cheese
3 tablespoons sugar or 3 tablespoons sugar substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Whip the egg whites into soft peaks with a pinch of salt.
  • In another bowl whisk the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla for a few minutes, then add the mascarpone cheese.
  • When the cheese and egg yolks are fully mixed together, add one table spoon of the egg whites and stir this in with a metal spoon.
  • Add the cheese mixture to the egg whites and stir in carefully, trying not to knock out the air from the beaten egg whites.
  • Then pour the mixture into a nice, freezer proof bowl and put into the freezer for 3 to 4 hours. The mixture shouldn't be too hard, so don't leave it in the freezer for longer than this - good excuse to eat it asap really! :).
