How to Make Mamma Mia That's A Semifreddo
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs. Add to the creamed butter along with 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon almond extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1 1/2 cups blanched almonds (finely chopped).
- Gradually add 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Lightly flour a clean surface. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Use 2-inch round cookie cutters (dipped in flour) to cut out cookies.
- Place cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- While cookies bake, toast 1/2 cup chopped pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned.
- Once cookies are out of the oven, lightly brush or drizzle with 1 tablespoon amaretto (optional). Let cookies and pistachios cool completely.
- Spread a scoop of your favorite gelato (pistachio recommended!) onto one cookie. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
- Roll the edges of the sandwich in the toasted pistachios.
- Serve immediately or freeze, wrapped in plastic wrap, for later.
- Serving size depends on cookie size; cut 2 cookies per serving.
