Semi Freddo... Sophisticated rich and Blissful..

The last restaurant I visited had this extraordinary dessert. And I went there thrice in the last 5 days just to satisfy my sweet tooth.

The I realized why not make it myself. The world is getting a lil expensive you know...

So its called Semi Freddo. Literally meaning Half Cold. Well I guess that's because its half way on route to making an Ice cream. Not frozen like an ice cream, so u can actually taste it rather than just have that frozen tongue. Not as stiff as a mousse that u can cut and eat it. More like a softee I would say.

Its creamy, smooth, rich and just melts in the mouth. Well one dollop in that restaurant was an enough inspiration for me to make some....

Ingredients

2 Eggs

115 gm Powdered Sugar

1 Vanilla Bean

100 gm White Chocolate

230 gm Double Cream

• Separate the egg yolks and the white. Make sure at the bowl in which u take out the whites in has no moisture else it will not whip up.
• Whisk together the yolks, sugar and the vanilla bean extract.
• Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler with 1 tbsp cream add at it to the above mixture.
• Whisk up rest of the Double cream separately and whisk the two mixtures together.
• Beat the egg whites till they achieve a hard peak ( beat it up such that when the bowl is upturned the whisked egg white doesnt fall) and fold it into the previous mixture.
• Divide this into 6 martini glasses or goblets or whiskey glasses as I did.
• Keep in the refrigerator overnight and serve dusted with cocoa.

Creamy smooth Indulgence. So Worth the immense amount of whisking and cleaning up.

Mmmmmmmmm.....
