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:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
