Categories     dessert

Time 8h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
4 ounces purchased amaretti cookies, crushed (about 20 small cookies) plus more for sprinkling
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup
8 large egg yolks
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons limoncello
Pinch salt
1 lemon, zested
1 lime, zested
1 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Spray a 9 by 5 by 3-inch metal loaf pan with nonstick spray. Line the pan with plastic wrap, allowing the excess to hang over the ends and sides.
  • Combine the crushed amaretti cookies and the melted butter. Put in the lined pan and press down to firm and form a crust.
  • Whisk 1/2 cup of the sugar, the egg yolks, lemon juice, lime juice, limoncello, and salt in a large metal bowl to blend. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water). Whisk the egg mixture until it is thick and creamy, and a thermometer inserted into the mixture registers 160 degrees F, about 5 minutes. Set the bowl of custard into another bowl of ice water to cool completely. Stir in the zest.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the cream and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in another large bowl until firm peaks form. Using a large rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the custard. Spoon the mixture onto the prepared crust. Fold the overhanging plastic wrap over the custard and freeze until frozen, at least 8 hours or up to 3 days.
  • Unfold the plastic wrap. Invert the semifreddo onto a platter and peel off the plastic wrap. Cut the semifreddo into 1-inch slices and sprinkle with crushed amaretti cookies and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, ripe fruit: The quality of your fruit will greatly affect the flavor of your semifreddo. Choose fruit that is in season and at its peak of ripeness.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients before you start assembling the semifreddo will help it set up more quickly and smoothly.
  • Use a food processor or blender to purée your fruit: This will help you achieve a smooth, consistent texture for your semifreddo.
  • Fold in the whipped cream gently: Over-mixing can cause the whipped cream to deflate, which will make your semifreddo less airy and light.
  • Freeze the semifreddo for at least 4 hours before serving: This will give it time to set up and firm up.

Conclusion:

Semifreddo is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized with your favorite fruits and flavors. Whether you are looking for a light and airy dessert or a more indulgent treat, semifreddo is sure to please everyone at your table.
