How to Make Raspberry Semifreddo

  1. In a blender or food processor, puree 1 cup of raspberries until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve if desired for a smoother texture.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the raspberry puree and 1/2 cup of sugar until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  4. In another bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale yellow. Gradually whisk in the sugar, followed by the vanilla extract.
  6. Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the mascarpone cheese until combined.
  7. Gently fold in the whipped cream until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Finally, gently fold in the raspberry mixture until evenly distributed.
  9. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  10. Gently fold in the egg whites into the raspberry mixture until just combined.
  11. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan (approximately 9x5 inches) or individual ramekins.
  12. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  13. Before serving, let the semifreddo sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to slightly soften.
  14. Garnish with fresh raspberries and/or raspberry coulis before serving.
