Semifreddo istriano de Ondina

Semifreddo è' un dolce speciale da fare per le feste di Capodanno e proviene dalla regione di Friuli-Venezia Giulia. La ricetta è facile di grande effetto ed è un dolce squisito per ogni occasione. Lo faccio da 30 anni su ricetta di una collega arrivata da Fiume. Quindi un dolce nostro. 

Ingredienti:

  • 3 dcl di acqua
  • 25 gr. di zucchero
  • 1/2 kg di mele sbucciate e grattuggiate
  • 3 cucchiai di rhum
  • 1 panna dolce
  • l budino di vaniglia
  • cioccolata grattugiata
  • biscotti secchi tipo: Saiwa

In una pirofila metto 12 biscotti. Nell'acqua cucino le mele, lo zucchero e il rhum. Passo le mele e le metto sui biscotti. Lascio raffreddare l'acqua delle mele. Preparo il budino in quest'acqua di mele. Nella pirofila aggiungo altri biscotti e verso sopra il budino caldo. Lascio tutto raffreddare. Aggiungo la panna montata e ricopro con la cioccolata grattugiata. Metto in frigo per una notte.

Gianduia semifreddo with hot rum zabaglione

Gianduja is one of the masks of the Italian Commedia dell'Arte, typically representing the town of Turin (and Piedmont in general). The mask depicts an honest peasant of Piedmontese countryland, with a certain inclination for wine, gastronomy and beautiful girls, while strictly faithful to his lover Giacometta. He is dressed (in the usual version) with a tricorn hat, a brown jacket with red borders, and has a happy humour. The character of Gianduja was originally created as a marionet and is now Turin's official "king of the Carnival".

Gianduja (or, more commonly, Gianduia) is also the name of a typical sweet chocolate and a biscuit produced in Piedmont after traditional recipes. The so-called Gianduia fondue has instead different origins and is not related with the Italian tradition. An evolution of Gianduja chocolate is industrially produced by Ferrero and best known as Nutella. 

Yield: 6 servings)

  • 2/3 cup hazelnuts
  • 1/2 cup milk, heated to lukewarm (105°F)
  • 6 1-ounce squares semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons rum

Line a 9x5-inch metal loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the ends. Place in freezer.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Arrange hazelnuts on a baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Wrap hazelnuts in a kitchen towel; let steam for 1 minute. Rub hazelnuts in the towel to remove the skins.

In a food processor, process hazelnuts until finely chopped; add milk and process until mixture is smooth. In a large metal bowl, over simmering water, melt chocolate, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth. Stir in hazelnut mixture; set aside. 

In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually beat in 3 tablespoons sugar until stiff peaks form. In a medium bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form; fold gently into egg whites. Fold one-fourth of the cream mixture into the chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining cream mixture. 

Pour into chilled loaf pan; cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 8 hours. In a metal bowl, over simmering water, combine remaining sugar, egg yolks, and rum; beat for 5 minutes or until mixture is thick and has quadrupled in volume.

Unmold the semifreddo onto a serving dish; serve it sliced topped with the hot rum zabaglione.

Honey semifreddo

Nigella: A semifreddo is not quite an ice cream, as the name - semi-cold, in translation - suggests. There’s no custard to make, and no churning required as it freezes, which makes life very much easier. What you get is a smooth, soft block of chilled, almost frozen cream, with a texture of deep, deep velvetiness. This mellow, honey-flavoured version matches taste to texture. For some reason, sometimes when I make it, I end up with a block of uniformly buff cream; at others, I’m left with a honeyed, resin-coloured stripe along the base - or the top as it stands when you turn it out. But that’s cooking for you. Either way, it works wonderfully. Pour more amber-coloured honey over as you serve, and scatter with toasted pinenuts, for quite the dreamiest, easiest pudding you could imagine.

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 100g best-quality honey, plus 3 tablespoons or so for serving
  • 300ml double cream
  • 25g pine nuts, toasted

Line a 900g /1 litre loaf tin with clingfilm. Beat the egg and egg yolks with the honey in a bowl, over a saucepan of gently simmering water, until the mixture is pale and thick. I use a wire balloon whisk for this, but if you feel like a bit of culinarily aided whirring, it will certainly be quicker with a hand-held electric whisk.

Whip the double cream until thick, and then gently fold in the egg and honey mixture. Pour into the prepared loaf tin, and cover carefully with cling film before putting it in the freezer for about 2-3 hours.

When it is ready to serve, turn out the semifreddo onto a suitably sized plate and drizzle this manilla-coloured log with honey, and sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts, before slicing. It thaws quickly as it stands, but that is part of its heavenly-textured charm. If you’ve got some dark, syrupy - indeed, honey-coloured - pudding wine to drink while you eat this, so much the better.

Serves 6 - 8

Banana semifreddo

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup almonds, (3 ounces) whole unblanched
  • 1 pound ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt

Preheat oven to hot (400 degrees).

Toast almonds on baking sheet in preheated hot oven (400 degrees) for 7 to 10 minutes or until fragrant and crisp. Cool. Coarsely chop.

Combine bananas, brown sugar, rum and lime juice in food processor. Whirl until pureed. Transfer puree to large bowl. Beat cream in small bowl until frothy. Gradually beat in granulated sugar and salt until soft peaks form. Gently fold cream into banana mixture.

Reserve 2 tablespoons nuts for garnish. Fold remaining nuts into banana mixture. Spoon into 8 individual ramekins or dessert cups. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze 1 1/2 hours or up to 3 days. (The longer the mixture is frozen the longer it will need to warm up slightly before serving.)

To serve: Remove from freezer and let stand for 30 minutes or until softened to smooth and creamy consistency. Sprinkle with reserved nuts.

The recipe can be prepared up to 3 days ahead and frozen.

Grappa semifreddo with espresso sauce

Active time: 45 min Start to finish: 2 3/4 hr

Semifreddo:
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup fine-quality grappa
  • 2 large egg whites at room temperature
  • 1 cup heavy cream
Espresso sauce:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 4 teaspoons instant espresso powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 6 teaspoons fine-quality grappa, chilled

Special equipment: 6 tall (2 1/2-inch high; 1/2-cup capacity) metal baba au rhum molds or 6 (1/2-cup) ramekins

Garnish: mocha coffee beans

Preparation:

Have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water.

Beat together yolks, sugar, and 1/3 cup grappa with an electric mixer in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water 10 minutes, or until thick and pale and mixture registers 170°F on an instant-read thermometer. Put bowl in ice bath and beat mixture until cold.

Beat whites with a pinch of salt in another bowl with cleaned beaters until they just hold stiff peaks. Beat cream in a separate bowl until it holds soft peaks. Whisk one third of whites into yolk mixture to lighten and fold in remaining whites and then cream, gently but thoroughly. Spoon into molds and freeze, covered with plastic wrap, until firm, about 2 hours.

Make espresso sauce while semifreddo is freezing: Cook sugar in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring slowly with a fork, until melted and pale golden. Cook caramel without stirring, swirling pan, until deep golden. Remove from heat. Stir together boiling water, espresso powder, and lemon juice. Carefully add to caramel (mixture will bubble up and vigorously steam), then cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved and sauce is smooth.

Unmold semifreddo: Dip molds in hot water 5 seconds, then run a small thin knife around edges and invert onto plates. Spoon a teaspoon of chilled grappa on top of each and drizzle plates with warm or room-temperature espresso sauce.

Cooks' notes:

  • If egg safety is a problem in your area, you may want to use pasteurized egg whites in the carton for the semifreddo.
  • Semifreddo may be made 1 week ahead and kept frozen. Let soften 30 minutes in refrigerator before unmolding.
  • You can make espresso sauce 3 days ahead and chill, covered. Reheat to warm before serving.

Serves 6.

Amaretto semifreddo with chocolate sause

Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
  • 6 ounces amaretti cookies, crushed (about 2 1/2 cups)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

1. In a medium stainless-steel bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and amaretto liqueur. Set the bowl over a large saucepan of simmering water and whisk constantly until the mixture turns bright yellow and thickens, about 10 minutes. Do not let the eggs get too hot or they will scramble. Remove the bowl from the heat and continue whisking for a few minutes to cool the mixture slightly. Set aside and let cool to room temperature, then fold in the amaretti.

2. In a large stainless-steel bowl, beat the cream to soft peaks. Fold the cream into the egg mixture. Spoon the semifreddo into an airtight container, cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or up to 5 days.

3. Remove the semifreddo from the freezer and let stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the chocolate over low heat, stirring occasionally. Scoop the semifreddo into flutes or parfait glasses, drizzle with the melted chocolate and serve.

Makes 6 servings.

WINE: Match the sweetness of this frozen-custard dessert with an equally sweet wine. The rich, honeyed 1997 Barberani Calcaia would be ideal.

Peach semifreddo

Peaches are abundant in the hills and valleys of Val d'Aosta, and they are turned into a number of lovely desserts, including this elegant chilled sweet.

To make your own peach jam during peach season, as cooks in Val d'Aosta do, place 2 and 1/4 pounds of peeled, pitted, and cubed peaches in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook over medium heat until the fruit is hot; add 4 cups of sugar and 1 cinnamon stick, stirring to dissolve the sugar, and cook for 1 hour over medium-low heat, or until the mixture has reached a jam-like consistency; pour in 2 tablespoons of brandy, remove the cinnamon stick, and cool.

  • 10 eggs, separated
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup cognac
  • 1 quart heavy cream
  • 3 cups peach jam
  • 5 peaches, thinly sliced

Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until pale yellow and creamy, about 5 minutes in an electric mixer. Beat the egg whites in a clean mixer bowl as well until they hold stiff peaks. Beat the heavy cream in another clean bowl until soft peaks form.

Brush 20 individual 3" molds, or 3 larger molds with the cognac. Fold the egg whites into the beaten egg yolk-sugar mixture, being careful not to deflate the egg whites; fold in the whipped cream. Spoon half of the egg-cream mixture into the molds; it should be between 1/3' and 1/2" high. Place on a baking sheet and freeze until set, about 1 hour. Top evenly with the peach jam (about 2 and 1/2 tablespoons per semifreddo), and cover with the remaining egg-cream mixture (again, about 1/3" to 1/2' high). Return to the freezer until set, about 1 more hour.

Serve chilled, garnished with the sliced peaches. Serves 20
