Raspberry and Lemon Semifreddo

Instruction

1. Prepare the Tin

  • Line a 24cm x 11cm x 7cm deep loaf tin with cling film, ensuring there is enough overhang to cover the top later.

  • Line the base of the tin with a piece of baking paper.

2. Crush the Raspberries

  • Place 100g of the raspberries into a small bowl.

  • Using a fork, lightly crush them with the 1 level tbsp of optional sweetener, if you are using it. Set aside.

3. Make the Custard Base

  • Spoon the fromage frais, the reduced-fat-and-sugar custard, and the quark into a large bowl.

  • Whisk the mixture well until smooth and thoroughly combined.

4. Prepare the Meringue

  • Place the 2 large egg whites in a large, clean glass bowl.

  • Using an electric hand whisk, beat the egg whites on a medium speed until they form stiff peaks.

5. Assemble the Semifreddo Mixture

  • Gently fold the stiffly beaten egg whites, the lemon zest, and the 2 level tbsp of sweetener into the fromage frais mixture.

  • Next, gently fold in the remaining whole raspberries (300g).

6. Fill and Freeze

  • Add the crushed raspberries (from step 2) to the mixture and stir lightly to create swirls.

  • Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf tin.

  • Cover the tin with the overhanging cling film, and then cover it again with foil.

  • Freeze for 6-8 hours, or until the semifreddo is firm.

7. Serve

  • Transfer the semifreddo to the fridge 1 hour before serving to allow it to soften slightly.

  • Remove the semifreddo from the tin (using the cling film overhang to lift it out) and peel off the baking paper and cling film.

  • Decorate the top with the extra raspberries.

  • Cut into 8 equal slices to serve.
