White Chocolate Semifreddo with Cherries
A no-fuss, fancy dessert you can slam together in no time. Melt your favorite white chocolate, mix it with chopped cherries, and stir it into the mix. Freeze until solid, and voila! When you're ready, turn it out, and dig in!
Ingredients
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 3.5 oz caster sugar
- 10.1 fl oz cream, whipped to soft peaks
- 7 oz high quality white chocolate (I used Whittaker’s White Chocolate with Raspberry, plus extra to decorate)
- 10.5 oz cherries, stoned and halved (or sliced more finely for easier slicing), plus extra to decorate
Instructions
- Line a 1.5 litre (3 pint) loaf pan with plastic wrap, making sure to allow enough to overlap on all sides to fold and cover the top of the semi-freddo.
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and caster sugar until the mixture is very thick and pale and about three times the volume – this will take several minutes.
- Fold in the whipped cream and chocolate. Then carefully fold in the chopped cherries until just combined (if you over mix the juice will stain the ice cream giving it a greyish tinge).
- Pour the semi-freddo mixture into the prepared pan and fold over the overhanging plastic wrap. Wrap the whole thing in silver foil for extra protection. Freeze the semi-freddo for several hours, or overnight.
- Turn the semi-freddo out onto a platter and decorate it with extra cherries or shards of white chocolate. Or serve in scoops.
Notes
Note: As this contains raw eggs, you’ll want to eat it within a couple of days.
