Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup heavy whipping cream
6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, sifted
8 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled
1 (4.3 ounce) package plain meringue cookies, coarsely crushed
3 tablespoons raspberry-flavored liqueur
12 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled, divided
5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Brush an 8-inch springform tin very lightly with vegetable oil. Line the bottom with a round of waxed paper.
  • Combine heavy cream and 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment; whip until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes.
  • Place 8 ounces strawberries in a blender or food processor; puree until smooth. Fold puree into cream. Fold in crushed meringue cookies and raspberry liqueur. Pour into the prepared tin and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Freeze semifreddo until firm, 6 hours to overnight.
  • Place 8 ounces strawberries in the blender or food processor; puree until smooth. Press through a fine-mesh strainer to remove seeds. Stir 5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and lemon juice into the puree until sugar is dissolved.
