Strawberry semifreddo

Strawberry semifreddo is a delightful frozen dessert that's perfect for warm weather. It combines the sweet and tangy flavor of strawberries with the rich creaminess of whipped cream. This no-bake recipe is easy to make and doesn’t require an ice cream maker, making it an ideal treat for any home cook.

Ingredients:

3 cups strawberries
480g
1/2 cup powdered sugar
80g
1/2 lemon
55g
1.50 cups heavy whipping cream
340g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Strawberries:
- Wash and hull the strawberries.
- In a blender or food processor, add the strawberries, powdered sugar, and lemon juice.
- Blend until smooth to create a strawberry puree.
2. Whip the Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream.
- Using an electric mixer or a hand whisk, whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. This process should take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
3. Combine the Mixture:
- Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream. Use a spatula to combine, ensuring the puree is evenly distributed while maintaining the airy texture of the whipped cream. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
4. Freeze the Mixture:
- Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or a freezer-safe container.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid, ensuring it’s sealed tightly.

5. Freeze:
- Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until completely firm.
6. Serve:
- Before serving, let the semifreddo sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Use a sharp knife to cut slices or scoop into bowls.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh strawberries or a sprig of mint for presentation.

Tips:

- Use fresh, ripe strawberries to achieve the best flavor and texture.

- Ensure the heavy whipping cream is cold before you start whipping to achieve maximum volume.

- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before whipping the cream to make the process easier.

- Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream to keep the semifreddo light and airy.

- Line your loaf pan with plastic wrap or parchment paper for easy removal of the semifreddo once it’s frozen.

Strawberry semifreddo is an impressive yet simple dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth without much effort. With just a handful of ingredients and some basic preparation, you can create a refreshing and creamy treat that's sure to be a hit at any gathering.
