Majkl shows us in this video how to make Straberry (any fruit) semifreddo.
Recipe is very simple, and this is really a very nice dessert to serve to your guests. Presentation is impressive, and can be prepared weeks in advance.
Ingredients for 1 round mold:
250g of strawberries
400g of whipped cream
250g mascarpone (yogurt for less fat)
200g of sugar
10g of gelatin
zest from 1/2 lemon
juice from 1/2 lemon
biscuits for tiramisu (if you want, it can be without biscuits)
Decoration: strawberries
Mirror glaze recipe:
100g water
180g of sugar
125g of whipped cream
125g of glucose or 150g of sweetened condensed milk
100g white chocolate
8g of gelatin
red food coloring
For the recipe, please follow instructions in the video. Here are some summery tips how to do the recipe:
1. Prepare the mirror glaze and put in fridge (lasts weeks in the fridge)
2. Prepare semifreddo and put in freezer (lasts weeks in the freezer)
3. At least 3 hours in before your guests arrive to your place, get the mirror glaze to 28°C and pour on top of the semifreddo. Collect the mirror glaze that fell off the semifreddo and pour it again on top of the semifreddo. This process you can do 3 times or even 4 times. This will ensure that the mirror glaze is thick, glossy, and tasty.
TIP: Majkl prefers to eat the semifreddo when it is room temperature, not semifreddo :-) Majkl takes out the glaze 6 hours before his guest arrive. Some people prefer cold semifreddo. You need to try which version you prefer, at room temperature or still cold semifreddo.
Buon Appetito!
