Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar (1/2 cup) and water (1/2 cup).
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook until it reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer (soft-ball stage).
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs (3 large) until they become thick and pale in color.
- Gradually pour the slightly cooled syrup into the eggs in a slow, steady stream while continuing to whisk. This process will cook the eggs gently.
- Continue to whisk until the mixture has cooled to room temperature and has increased in volume.
- Mix in the vanilla extract (1 tsp).
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped white chocolate (1 cup) over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
- Stir occasionally until the white chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Fold the melted white chocolate into the egg mixture gently until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream (1/3 cup) to soft peaks.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate and egg mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or a suitable container lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper for easy removal.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.
- To serve, remove the semifreddo from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
- Unmold the semifreddo onto a serving plate.
- If using pistachio praline, sprinkle it generously over the top for a delightful crunch.
- Slice and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream; this helps achieve a better consistency.
- Gently fold the ingredients to retain the airiness of the whipped cream for a light and fluffy semifreddo.
White chocolate & pistachio praline semifreddo is an exquisite dessert that beautifully balances decadent flavors and textures. Whether for a dinner party or simply to satisfy a craving, this frozen delight is sure to be a hit. Enjoy the creamy, nutty, and sweet experience of each bite.
