Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Pan: Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring an overhang on both sides for easy removal. Set aside. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Whip the Egg Yolks: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the egg yolks, 3 tablespoons of honey, and 1 teaspoon of honey. Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture has doubled in volume and is pale and creamy. This should take approximately 10 minutes.

03

Step

Whip the Cream: In a separate, clean bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until firm peaks form. This usually takes 3 to 4 minutes.

04

Step

Combine and Fold: Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg yolk mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream. Once combined, pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap.

05

Step

Initial Freeze: Freeze the semifreddo until it is partially chilled, about 90 minutes.

06

Step

Add Fruit and Nuts: Remove the semifreddo from the freezer and gently stir in the fresh raspberries and chopped pistachios until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

07

Step

Final Freeze: Return the semifreddo to the freezer and freeze until completely firm, at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

08

Step

Soften and Serve: Before serving, let the semifreddo soften slightly in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to make it easier to slice. Turn the semifreddo out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, slice into portions, and serve immediately.

For an even more intense raspberry flavor, consider pureeing a portion of the raspberries with a touch of honey and drizzling it over each slice before serving.
Toasted pistachios add a deeper, nuttier flavor. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant, then cool and chop before adding to the semifreddo.
Semifreddo can be stored in the freezer for up to a week. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn.
