Best 7 Peach Semifreddo With Raspberry Sauce Recipes

VANILLA SEMIFREDDO WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Lightly oil an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2-inch loaf pan and line it as neatly as possible with plastic wrap, allowing enough to drape over the sides to later cover the top. (I lay two pieces of plastic wrap across the pan, overlapping in the middle.) Place the pan in the freezer.
• Put the egg yolks (reserve 1/3 cup of the egg whites and discard or save the rest for another use), 1/4 cup of the sugar and the vanilla seeds in a medium heatproof bowl and beat with a handheld mixer fitted with the beater attachment for 2 minutes, until light yellow and thickened. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and beat the mixture continually for 3 minutes, until doubled in volume and warm to the touch. Off the heat, beat the mixture for 1 minute.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the reserved egg whites, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and the cream of tartar and beat on high speed until the whites form firm but not dry peaks. Fold the egg whites into the egg mixture with a rubber spatula.
• Without washing the mixer or whisk, pour the heavy cream, vanilla liqueur (if using) and vanilla into the bowl and beat on high speed until it forms soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream carefully but thoroughly into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 4 hours.
• Place the raspberries, sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 4 minutes.
• Pour the mixture and the preserves into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until smooth. Stir in the framboise and chill.
• To unmold, dip the pan in a bowl of hot tap water for 8 to 10 seconds and turn the semifreddo upside down onto a rectangular serving plate. Peel off the plastic wrap. (You can cover and refreeze the semifreddo for a few hours on the serving plate.) Pour several tablespoons of raspberry sauce on each dessert plate, cut 1-inch-thick slices of the semifreddo and place them in the center of the sauce. Sprinkle each serving with blueberries and serve immediately.

NOT-SO-CLASSIC PEACH MELBA

Steps:

• Make the raspberry sauce: Put 1 cup raspberries and 2 tablespoons sugar in a blender and whiz to liquify. Pour through a fine-meshed strainer and into a medium bowl. Keep cool.
• Using a paring knife, peel and halve the peaches. Slice the halves into half-moon pieces about 3/8-inch thick. Transfer to a bowl. Add 2 teaspoons sugar and a few drops of lemon juice to taste. Toss to coat.
• To serve, arrange peach slices in the bottom of 6 dessert bowls. Top each serving with a scoop or 2 of vanilla ice cream. Splash raspberry sauce over each portion. Garnish with a few raspberries if you wish.

PEACH AND RASPBERRY CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the inside of a 10 by 15 by 2 1/2-inch oval baking dish.
• Immerse the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then place them in cold water. Peel the peaches and slice them into thick wedges and place them into a large bowl. Add the orange zest, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Toss well. Gently mix in the raspberries. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. If there is a lot of liquid, add 1 more tablespoon of flour. Pour the peaches into the baking dish and gently smooth the top.
• Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, salt, oatmeal, and the cold, diced butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the butter is pea-sized and the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle evenly on top of the peaches and raspberries. Bake for 1 hour, until the top is browned and crisp and the juices are bubbly. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator and reheat in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until warm.

LEMON AND AMARETTI SEMIFREDDO WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Puree raspberries with syrup in blender. Strain puree into medium bowl; discard seeds. Cover; chill. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.)
• Line 7- to 8-cup loaf pan or other mold with 2 layers of plastic wrap, leaving long overhang. Freeze pan. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Add 1/4 cup powdered sugar; beat until stiff but not dry. Using same beaters, beat cream and remaining 3/4 cup powdered sugar in large bowl until peaks form. Fold in lemon peel and cinnamon. Fold large spoonful of cream mixture into whites, then fold whites back into cream in 2 additions. Fold in 3/4 cup amaretti. Transfer mixture to prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap overhang, then foil. Freeze at least 4 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
• Remove foil and open plastic. Turn semifreddo out onto platter. Remove pan; peel off plastic. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup amaretti. Serve semifreddo with sauce.

LIMONCELLO & RASPBERRY SEMIFREDDO

Steps:

• Line the base of a 1kg loaf tin (19cm x 12cm x 9cm deep) with baking parchment. For the semifreddo, mash the raspberries and half the sugar in a bowl with a fork. Whisk the cream, the rest of the sugar and the limoncello to soft peaks. Beat the crème fraîche briefly so it is in soft peaks like the cream. Gently fold the cream mixture and crème fraîche together.
• Pour the mashed raspberries into the cream and give a few stirs only - just enough to swirl it through the creamy mix. Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and smooth the top.
• For the coulis, mash the raspberries, sugar and limoncello with a fork, then push through a sieve.
• Open-freeze (see 'Try' below) the semifreddo then cover with cling film and foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Pour the sieved coulis into a rigid container and freeze for up to 1 month.
• To serve, thaw the coulis in the fridge overnight. Thaw the semifreddo in the fridge for 1 hr. Remove it from the tin and peel off the lining paper. Drizzle with a little of the coulis and scatter some raspberries over the top. Serve in slices with the rest of the coulis.

YOGURT-PEACH SEMIFREDDO

Steps:

• Line 8 1/2x4 1/2" loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a generous overhang on all sides.
• Cook peaches and 1/4 cup sugar in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until peaches are softened and sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender and purée until smooth. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, whisk egg whites, salt, and remaining 1 cup sugar in a medium heatproof bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let bowl touch water). Cook, whisking constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch, 2-4 minutes. Remove bowl from saucepan. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat egg mixture until tripled in volume, glossy, and completely cool, about 10 minutes.
• Whisk yogurt and lemon juice in a large bowl, then stir in mint. Gently fold in egg white mixture until combined.
• Transfer half of the yogurt mixture to prepared pan; smooth surface. Swirl half of the peach mixture into yogurt layer with a spoon, then repeat with remaining yogurt and peach mixtures. Fold plastic wrap overhang over top to seal and freeze until firm, at least 8 hours.
• Unwrap semifreddo and, using plastic overhang, gently lift from pan. Invert semifreddo onto a cutting board, remove plastic wrap, and let sit at least 10 minutes to soften. Slice into 6 even slices, about 1 1/2" thick; transfer to plates and serve.
• Do Ahead
• Semifreddo can be frozen for up to 3 days.

PEACH SEMIFREDDO WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Line a 4-cup metal loaf pan with a piece of waxed paper that covers the bottom and both long sides and extends three inches beyond the edges of the pan. The ends of the pan do not need to be covered.
• Cut the peaches in half, remove the pits and cut each peach half in quarters. Place the peaches in a food processor with the lemon juice, 1/2 cup of the sugar and the ricotta, then puree. Push the puree through a sieve to remove bits of skin.
• Refrigerate the peach mixture while continuing with the recipe.
• Whip the cream until stiff. Fold the whipped cream into the peach mixture, then pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Fold the ends of the waxed paper over the top to cover mixture. Place the pan in the freezer for 8 hours or overnight.
• Reserve 6 attractive raspberries for garnish and make the sauce by forcing the remaining raspberries through a sieve; or puree the raspberries in a food processor, then sieve them to remove the seeds. Sweeten the puree to taste with some or all of the remaining sugar. Transfer the sauce to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• An hour and a half to 3 hours before serving, unmold it. Run a knife down the narrow ends and along the sides of the pan, lift the waxed paper off the top and unmold the semifreddo onto a large piece of foil. Peel off the waxed paper, wrap the block of dessert in foil and place it in the refrigerator on its serving dish until ready to serve. It can remain in the refrigerator up to 4 hours.
• To serve, unwrap the semifreddo, place on its chilled serving dish and garnish with the reserved raspberries. Cut thick slices and spoon some sauce on each serving.
