Raspberry and Vanilla Semifreddo
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 large eggs
- 13 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream plus 3 tablespoons, 300ml
- 1/2 cup raspberries frozen
- 1 cup blueberries frozen
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- In a small saucepan, add the frozen raspberries, and bring to a boil.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes under low heat until part of the liquid has been evaporated and the raspberries become thick.
- Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Meanwhile place a large piece of plastic wrap into a loaf pan, and allow overhanging around the edges.
- In a large mixing bowl with an electric whisk, whisk the egg, egg yolks and sugar thick and creamy, about 5 minutes; start from medium speed, then increase to high after about 2 minutes.
- Transfer the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and whisk by hand whisk for another 5 minutes or until custard doubles in volume and ribbon like texture.
- Pour 23 of the custard mixture into another bowl, pour in the cooled raspberries, and stir well.
- You can use an electric hand whisk to do the work as well.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Whisk the cream in a large clean bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
- Do not over whisk, which will cause cream to separate.
- Add 23 of the whipped cream to the raspberry custard mixture and gently fold until just combined.
- Add the remaining cream to the remaining custard mixture, gently fold until just combined.
- Spoon half of raspberry cream mixture into the prepared pan, and let freeze for about half an hour or until firm.
- Put both of the remaining mixtures into the frige to keep cold.
- Spoon the cream custard mixture over the first raspberry layer, freeze for another half an hour or so or until firm.
- Transfer the remaining raspberry cream mixture on top.
- Cover with a plastic wrap and freeze until the semifreddo is firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
- One hour before serving, add frozen blueberries and sugar in a bowl, and toss well.
- Let sit in the frige until ready to serve.
- About 20 minutes before serving, take the semifreddo out of the freezer, and let it thaw.
- Lift up the overhanging plastic wraps and transfer the semifreddo onto a serving platter.
- Spoon the blueberry sauce over the whole semifreddo or over each slice.
