Spumone Semifreddo

A classic frozen Italian custard dessert with layered flavors

Ingredients

  • 3/4 quart of milk
  • 3/4 quart of manufactured cream
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 whole eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 tbsp granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 oz pistachios (chopped)
  • 3 oz strawberries (sliced)

Preparation

1. In a saucepan, combine milk, cream, and sugar with vanilla. Bring to a gentle boil.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs and lemon juice. Gradually add the hot milk mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
3. Cook the mixture in a bain-marie (double boiler) until it thickens into a custard consistency.
4. Divide the custard into 3 equal parts. Leave one plain (vanilla-lemon), mix chopped pistachios into one, and blend strawberry slices into the third.
5. Pour each flavored custard layer into a stainless steel mold one at a time, freezing between each layer for 1–2 hours until firm.
6. Once fully set, unmold and slice into 4-inch servings. Garnish with raspberry coulis and candied sugar. Serve immediately.
