Our sponsors for the event have provided us with some great prizes. A huge thanks to Cake BossAnolonMicroplane,WÜSTHOFPage Street Publishing and Quarry Spoon. Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and I have tossed in a bonus prize of a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker because we think everyone should own one!

*******************************

So everyone is familiar with the no-churn method of making ice cream right? I haven’t personally tried it myself but more else it involves some homemade whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk. Folks that don’t own an ice cream maker swear by the method and promise it delivers perfectly creamy ice cream. 

One of these days I’ll get around to trying it.  Maybe. . .but for now I’m going to share with you the other awesome no-churn method.  The version that produces this beauty above, which also happens to double as an ice cream cake. 

Semifreddo or rather half-cold is essentially a frozen mousse.  It’s irresistibly creamy thanks to the base more or less similar to what you’d make for churned ice cream, except you are folding those cooked egg yolks into whipped cream to keep things light, airy and semi-frozen.

Since this ice cream doesn’t completely freeze fruit filling (un-roasted this time) are perfect and nothing beats the combination of chocolate, cherry and ice cream.  As soon as you slice into the semifreddo, the colors pop and the pockets of chocolate and almond throughout are pleasant surprises. 

So we’ve got my ice cream for today, let’s see what everyone else is brining to the party.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 4 large egg yolks

The yolks will be plate and frothy once they have tripled in size.Using a stand mixer or by hand, whip the heavy cream until it forms medium peaks.Carefully fold in half the egg yolks, making sure not to deflate too much of the whipped cream and then the remaining yolks. Scraping down the bottom and sides of the bowl. Gently stir in the almond extract.Scoop about 1/3 of the mix into your prepared pan and place 1/4 cup of almonds, about 1/2 a cup of cherries and a drizzle of melted chocolate. Add more whipped cream and build layers, so that you end up with 3 total layers of filling and 1/4 cup almonds & 1/2 cup cherries remaining to top.Carefully fold over the excess plastic wrap and place in the freezer to firm up for at least 4-6 hours.Remove the frozen semifreddo from the freezer, flip out onto your surface, remove the plastic wrap and top with the remaining almonds and cherries.Serve immediately, as it will being to melt at room temperature.

    Oh my gosh… how pretty is that dessert? I love the bright pops of dark red cherries against the snowy white semifreddo. And such a lovely combination of flavours, too. Can’t wait to see what else you’ve got up your sleeve for the back half of the week! 🙂
