Number Of Ingredients 14

RASPBERRY SAUCE
2 pkg frozen raspberries in syrup, 10 oz. each, thawed
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 c water
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
OPT 2 tablespoons chambord raspberry liqueur
SEMIFREDDO
6 large eggs, separated
2/3 c sugar
1 lb mascarpone cheese
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp grated lemon zest
4 oz grated high quality 60 - 70% cacao chocolate
fresh raspberries for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. In a food processor or blender, puree the thawed raspberries.
  • 2. Working over a saucepan, force the puree through a fine sieve to remove the seeds. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  • 3. Stir the cornstarch with the water in a small cup and then stir it into the raspberries. Stir in the lemon juice. Simmer the sauce unti it is thickened and smooth.
  • 4. Remove from heat and stir in the Chambord if desired. Cool completely, then cover and refrigerate. This raspberry sauce can be made 2 days in advance if needed.
  • 5. Line a bundt pan with plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of overhang. Put it in the freezer while preparing the semifreddo.
  • 6. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is thick and pale, then beat in the mascarpone, the vanilla, and the lemon zest.
  • 7. Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Then fold them gently, but thoroughly into the mascarpone/egg mixture.
  • 8. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of the grated chocolate evenly onto the bottom of the chilled bundt pan.
  • 9. Spoon half the mascarpone mixture into the pan, sprinkle evenly with the remaining chocolate. Then spoon in the remaining mascarpone mixture and smooth it carefully
  • 10. Fold the plastic wrap over the mixture and place the pan in the freezer for at least 8 hours or overnight. Unmold the semifreddo onto a serving platter. Garnish with fresh raspberries and drizzling some sauce over the semifreddo.
  • 11. Slice to serve and drizzle with more raspberry sauce.
