An idea for elegant ice cream that you can proudly serve at the table.
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 2 egg yolks
- 100 g sugar (slightly less than 1/2 cup)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
- 1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream (30% fat)
- 300 g strawberries
Preparation:
Line a container such as a loaf pan or heatproof dish with transparent food wrap or parchment paper.
In a bowl, crack the egg, add the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla sugar, then mix well. Suspend the bowl over a pot with a small amount of gently boiling water, reduce the heat to low or turn off the burner completely, and whisk the mixture for about 7 minutes over hot steam until it becomes very fluffy, thick, and pale. Remove the bowl from the pot and continue whisking for another 7 minutes until the mixture cools down.
Puree the strawberries into a smooth puree. In a clean bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream and the strawberry puree into the beaten egg mixture, gently combining everything.
Pour the mixture into the prepared container and place it in the freezer for several hours or longer if needed.
After freezing, wrap the dessert in plastic wrap or cover it tightly. To unmold the semifreddo onto a serving plate, you can take it out of the freezer for several minutes to thaw slightly, or briefly dip the loaf pan into hot water.
Enjoy your elegant strawberry semifreddo!
