RASPBERRY SEMIFREDDO
This recipe is easy and fun and can be made days in advance. Serve it with a chocolate sauce and it is sublime.
6 eggs
1-1/4 cups superfine sugar
2 cups raspberries
3 cups cream
In the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water, whisk the eggs and sugar together until they thicken. Remove from the heat and continue whisking until cool. Mash 1-1/2 cups of berries in a shallow dish and set aside.
Beat the cream until it stiff peaks. Fold in the cooled egg mixture and the raspberries.
Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap. Pour the raspberry mixture into the pan and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the freezer for at least four hours or several days.
Remove from freezer, unmold and slice. Place a slice on a plate, spoon chocolate sauce on the side and scatter a few fresh raspberries over the top.
EASY CHOCOLATE SAUCE
9 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
1 cup milk
5 teaspoons cream
1/4 cup sugar
2-1/2 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
Chop the chocolate into small chunks. Melt chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water. In another pan, heat the milk to boiling add the cream and return to boil.
Remove the milk from the heat, stir in sugar, melted chocolate, and the butter. Return pot to heat and bring sauce to a boil for a few seconds. Pour into pitcher or bowl. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Light, sweet, and tangy...lemon bars!
Nothing is better than cheesecake.
