Finish your summer menu with the perfect al fresco pudding – this semifreddo is incredibly easy to make but looks so impressive

Prep:20 mins
Cook:10 mins (plus at least 5 hrs freezing)
Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 500g strawberries, hulled and quartered
• 50g caster sugar, plus 2 tbsp (optional)
• 6 tbsp elderflower cordial
• 300ml double cream
• 300ml full-fat Greek yogurt

Method

1. Line a 1-litre loaf tin with cling film. Cook 300g of the strawberries with the 50g sugar and 4 tbsp of the elderflower cordial for 8-10 mins in a small pan over a medium heat until the strawberries have released some of their liquid and it has reduced a little. Leave to cool.
2. Whisk the double cream to soft peaks, then fold in the Greek yogurt until combined. Gently fold the cooked strawberries through the cream and yogurt mixture to create a ripple effect. Tip the mixture into the lined tin, then gently even out with the back of a spoon. Cover with cling film and freeze for at least 5 hrs or overnight. Will keep frozen for up to one month.
3. To serve, remove from the freezer, turn out onto a serving plate, peel off the cling film and defrost for 20 mins. Meanwhile, mix the rest of the strawberries with the remaining elderflower cordial, sprinkle over the 2 tbsp sugar, if using, and pile these on the semifreddo.
