Raspberry and Pistachio Semifreddo

Raspberry and Pistachio Semifreddo

We all love desserts that come along with raspberries. You don’t always have to go out to enjoy such desserts. You will be able to prepare such a dessert at the comfort of your home. From this guide, we will share more details on how you will be able to prepare Raspberry and Pistachio Semifreddo at the comfort of your home.

Raspberry and Pistachio Semifreddo is a perfect dessert available for you to make during summer. All your family members would love it. One of the best things about this Raspberry and Pistachio Semifreddo recipe is that it is gluten free. You can also prepare the recipe within just 20 minutes.

Ingredients:

Following are the ingredients you need to have to proceed with preparing Raspberry and Pistachio Semifreddo at home.

  • Three tablespoons of honey
  • Six large egg yolks
  • One cup of heavy whipping cream
  • 2.5 tablespoons of chopped pistachio nuts
  • Eight ounces of fresh raspberries

Make sure that you purchase the freshest raspberries available out there. That’s because the quality of raspberries you buy will be able to contribute a lot towards the taste you can get out of the dessert.

Steps to follow

When you have all ingredients needed, you can follow these steps and proceed with making the recipe.

  • Combine the ingredients

First you will need to take the egg yolks and mix that along with honey. Make sure that you are using a large bowl to get the job done. In addition to that, you will be able to get a perfect mixing experience with the help of an electric mixer. When you are beating the ingredients, you will figure out how they are doubling the volume. Along with that, it would become creamy and pale. This will take around 10 minutes.

  • Beat heavy cream

You should take a separate bowl and use that to beat heavy cream. You will need to be using the electric mixer for it as well. Mixing for just four minutes would be enough. Then you can fold cream gently to the egg yolk mixture.

  • Pouring your mixture into the pan

Now you will need to take a loaf pan. Use a parchment paper for layering it. Make sure that you keep an overhang on two sides of the pan. Then you will need to add the mixture to the pan. While doing that, make sure that you make the top smooth. Once you are done, cover that with the help of a plastic wrap.

  • Freeze

You should now freeze your dessert for 1.5 hours in the freezer. After that, you should take it out from the freezer. This is where you will need to stir in pistachio nuts and raspberries. Then you should continue to freeze for four more hours.

  • Serve

Make sure that you allow Raspberry and Pistachio Semifreddo to soften before you serve. Keeping it out of the freezer for just 15 minutes would be enough. You can cut into slices and serve.

Raspberry, pistachio and lime traybake with cream cheese icing

Raspberry, pistachio and lime traybake with cream cheese icing

Ingredients:

100g pistachio nuts (plus 30g extra for garnishing)

3 tsp lime zest (from about 3 limes)

125g castor sugar

110g plain flour

50g almond meal

1½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

150g unsalted butter, cubed, then left to soften

3 large eggs, at room temperature

½ tsp almond (or 1 tsp vanilla) extract

300g fresh raspberries

For the icing

200g cream cheese, in cubes

75g icing sugar, sifted

1 tsp lime zest (from 1 lime)

90ml pure cream

1 tbsp lime juice

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 195C (175C fan-forced) and line a deep traybake tin (about 23cm x 33cm) with baking paper. Set aside.

2. Place the 100g pistachio nuts and 3 teaspoons of lime zest in a food processor and process until the nuts are finely ground – as fine as you can without them turning into an oily paste. Add the sugar, flour, almond meal, baking powder and salt and process for a few more seconds to combine. Add the butter and pulse until completely incorporated, scraping down the bowl to ensure it is well mixed. Add the eggs and almond (or vanilla) extract and process until the mixture is thick and quite smooth – about 30 seconds. Scrape the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top with a small spatula so that it is even.

3. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool completely before icing.

4. To make the icing, place the cream cheese, icing sugar and lime zest in the bowl of a cake mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on low speed until smooth. Add the cream and beat on medium speed until the icing is thick and smooth, then fold in the lime juice.

5. Spread the icing over the top of the cake, then scatter over the raspberries – I like to tear them up a bit to make it easier to slice the cake later. Roughly chop the extra 30g pistachios and scatter over the raspberries. Slice the cake into squares or rectangles and serve from the tin, using a spatula to ease the slices out.
