Steps:
- Line a 4 1/2-by-8 1/2-inch loaf pan with 2 sheets of plastic wrap, leaving a 3-inch overhang on long sides. In a blender, puree raspberries and sugar, scraping down sides as needed. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids; discard solids.
- In a large bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. With a rubber spatula, fold in lemon curd. Spoon 2 cups cream mixture into pan and smooth top. Dip ladyfingers in raspberry puree and arrange in pan, parallel to long edges. Pour remaining raspberry puree on ladyfingers. Top with remaining cream mixture and smooth top.
- Wrap pan with overhanging plastic and freeze 8 hours (or up to 2 weeks). To serve, invert onto a serving platter, remove plastic, and slice.

VANILLA SEMIFREDDO WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- Lightly oil an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2-inch loaf pan and line it as neatly as possible with plastic wrap, allowing enough to drape over the sides to later cover the top. (I lay two pieces of plastic wrap across the pan, overlapping in the middle.) Place the pan in the freezer.
- Put the egg yolks (reserve 1/3 cup of the egg whites and discard or save the rest for another use), 1/4 cup of the sugar and the vanilla seeds in a medium heatproof bowl and beat with a handheld mixer fitted with the beater attachment for 2 minutes, until light yellow and thickened. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and beat the mixture continually for 3 minutes, until doubled in volume and warm to the touch. Off the heat, beat the mixture for 1 minute.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the reserved egg whites, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and the cream of tartar and beat on high speed until the whites form firm but not dry peaks. Fold the egg whites into the egg mixture with a rubber spatula.
- Without washing the mixer or whisk, pour the heavy cream, vanilla liqueur (if using) and vanilla into the bowl and beat on high speed until it forms soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream carefully but thoroughly into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Place the raspberries, sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 4 minutes.
- Pour the mixture and the preserves into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until smooth. Stir in the framboise and chill.
- To unmold, dip the pan in a bowl of hot tap water for 8 to 10 seconds and turn the semifreddo upside down onto a rectangular serving plate. Peel off the plastic wrap. (You can cover and refreeze the semifreddo for a few hours on the serving plate.) Pour several tablespoons of raspberry sauce on each dessert plate, cut 1-inch-thick slices of the semifreddo and place them in the center of the sauce. Sprinkle each serving with blueberries and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Line the base of a 1kg loaf tin (19cm x 12cm x 9cm deep) with baking parchment. For the semifreddo, mash the raspberries and half the sugar in a bowl with a fork. Whisk the cream, the rest of the sugar and the limoncello to soft peaks. Beat the crème fraîche briefly so it is in soft peaks like the cream. Gently fold the cream mixture and crème fraîche together.
- Pour the mashed raspberries into the cream and give a few stirs only - just enough to swirl it through the creamy mix. Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and smooth the top.
- For the coulis, mash the raspberries, sugar and limoncello with a fork, then push through a sieve.
- Open-freeze (see 'Try' below) the semifreddo then cover with cling film and foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Pour the sieved coulis into a rigid container and freeze for up to 1 month.
- To serve, thaw the coulis in the fridge overnight. Thaw the semifreddo in the fridge for 1 hr. Remove it from the tin and peel off the lining paper. Drizzle with a little of the coulis and scatter some raspberries over the top. Serve in slices with the rest of the coulis.

CHERRY-RASPBERRY SEMIFREDDO
A classic Italian dessert that translates to 'semi-frozen', semifreddos are light and airy in texture-think of them as a hybrid of ice cream and mousse. A cinch to pull together and make-ahead by design, they're a great low-maintenance option when you're entertaining and want to serve an easy but elegant dessert. This rendition is packed to the brim with spring cherries and raspberries, but you can make this versatile recipe using any fresh or thawed frozen fruits that you have on hand.

Steps:
- Whisk together 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Add fruits; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Boil 1 minute, then stir in lemon juice and liqueur.
- Transfer mixture to a food processor and purée, then pass through a medium-coarse-mesh sieve, discarding solids. (You should have about 1 1/4 cups.)
- Combine whole egg, yolks, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large heatproof bowl set over (but not in) a pot of simmering water. Whisk until mixture is warm (about 160°F) and sugar has dissolved. Using a mixer, beat on medium-high speed until thick and cool, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Reduce speed to low; beat in 1 cup berry purée. In a clean bowl, whip 3/4 cup cream to stiff peaks, then fold into berry mixture. (You should have 3 1/2 cups.) Divide mixture between 8 freezer-safe glasses and freeze until firm, at least 8 hours or, covered in plastic wrap, up to 3 days. (Meanwhile, refrigerate remaining berry mixture in an airtight container.)
- To serve, remove semifreddo from freezer and let sit 10 minutes. Whip remaining 1/2 cup cream to soft peaks. Divide remaining berry mixture between glasses. Top with more raspberries, cherries, and whipped cream before serving.
RASPBERRY MELBA SAUCE
Steps:
- Puree all the ingredients, then pass through a strainer to remove the seeds.
Tips:
- Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries have the best flavor and will make your semifreddo more delicious. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make your semifreddo tough. Beat the egg whites until they are stiff but not dry.
- Chill the semifreddo completely before serving. This will help it to set properly and make it easier to scoop.
- Serve the semifreddo with Melba sauce. Melba sauce is a classic pairing for raspberry desserts. It is made with raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. You can find Melba sauce in the grocery store, or you can make your own.
Conclusion:
Raspberry Lemon Semifreddo with Melba Sauce is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. The combination of raspberries, lemon, and Melba sauce is sure to please everyone.
