Lemon-Raspberry Semifreddo - Everyday Food with Sarah Carey

Today's recipe is a perfect make-ahead dessert. It's a lemon-raspberry semifreddo that comes together in about five minutes and is simply stunning. Keep in mind, since semifreddo is like a softened ice cream, it will need to set in your freezer for at least eight hours. But trust me, once you make this sweet and tart dish, you'll see the wait was well worth it!
Sarah's Tip of the Day:
This recipe calls for ladyfingers, the spongy cookies that were named for their resemblance to a woman's curled pointer finger. But in certain parts of Southeast Asia, the same name is used to describe the vegetable okra (which we wouldn't suggest using in desserts).

PREP: 15 MINS
TOTAL TIME: 15 MINS
SERVINGS:8
INGREDIENTS:
6 ounces raspberries (3/4 cup), thawed if frozen
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup lemon curd
10 ladyfingers
COOK'S NOTE:
The phrase semifreddo is Italian for "half cold" and refers to a partially frozen dessert.
DIRECTIONS:
STEP 1
Line a 4 1/2-by-8 1/2-inch loaf pan with 2 sheets of plastic wrap, leaving a 3-inch overhang on long sides. In a blender, puree raspberries and sugar, scraping down sides as needed. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids; discard solids.
STEP 2
In a large bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. With a rubber spatula, fold in lemon curd. Spoon 2 cups cream mixture into pan and smooth top. Dip ladyfingers in raspberry puree and arrange in pan, parallel to long edges. Pour remaining raspberry puree on ladyfingers. Top with remaining cream mixture and smooth top.
STEP 3
Wrap pan with overhanging plastic and freeze 8 hours (or up to 2 weeks). To serve, invert onto a serving platter, remove plastic, and slice.

[@Bendereina]

I appreciate when you give the culinary term for things; I had no idea I was making a ganache' all these years or macerating fruit. Thanks for the education.

[@desireelopezdejesus7982]

Made this two days ago everybody love it my sister almost licked the plate!! Had to make your lemon curd bc where i live we dont have prepared lemon curd also used strawberries instead of raspberries bc i had them on

[@kristenharris1282]

Delicious desert

[@Eemmy66]

[@raya4338]

[@withamina7437]

[@sarnaseven19]

4 ingredients dessert. Im soo gonna make this!!

[@roosjewillemijn]

Memories... this was the first recipe I ever made... I was 13 years old and so proud of the result!

[@johnscanlan9335]

I recently made a chocolate semifreddo following a recipe from America's Test Kitchen that came out beautifully. This appears to be an even easier recipe to prepare. I'm going to try this one and I'll report back on how it comes out. Also when I made the chocolate semifreddo I used a silicon loaf pan instead of a metal one and it released the semifreddo very easily. I recommend it highly!

[@johnscanlan9335]

I made this also and it came out beautifully! Like I said on the previous post, get and use a silicon loaf pan - AMAZINGLY EASY to get it out!!!!

[@Eemmy66]

More awesome desserts Sarah :D

[@Kelly-cv6xh]

yum

[@Bargaingirlforlife]

You're so funny and your food seems easy yet delicious and fancy. You're so cool. Please do more videos on quick after work dinner ideas.

[@destination2891]

we want more!!!!!!!!

[@TehRiceCake]

this looks so GOOD im so hungry haha

[@Thaneii]

That looks so tempting, but I don't know if I have the patience to perfectly strain the raspberry puree, AND, have to wait 8 hours to enjoy this.

[@sarahcarey984]

sure

[@toughsuga2]

you're so exuberant. I love it

[@TheBunkitty]

Hey Sarah i love your work and you've got a great personality! Can you show us a simple waffle recipe with many ideas for toppings! Thanks! :D

[@loveubby97]

she's a lovely woman and looks very kind :)

[@Thaneii]

LOL! I'm not sure if you realize just how funny your comment is. But I gave it a thumbs up.

[@niharikajaisudan]

i love your personality...i watch your videos only for you....

[@saraamin7933]

Hey Sarah, Can I make the same recipe with strawberries? we don't get raspberries where I live..

[@thaisonnguyen8368]

(3 years later :v), yes u can :)

[@thewhisktaker]

i think using an immersion hand blender would be easier to puree the raspberries and save some of the puree too :)

[@johnjohnson3709]

If you don’t have lady fingers you could grind some graham crackers with butter in a food processor and use it instead. I might try this.

[@LauraVitaleFan]

I would like to clear the air and say that my comment really wasn't supposed to hurt anyone or steer people to watch someone else. Sara and Laura are my two favourite chefs on KZbin. I really an sorry if I hurt anyone but really this blew up in to something stupid.

[@amaalsaleban1584]

can you yus nutela or samthing

[@andhikaputra4038]

Laura's macaron video comes to mind...

[@supermario1006]

OMG sarah i love youuuuuu....

[@LauraVitaleFan]

@MsAbs1990 I wasn't trying to steer you to another KZbinr I was saying that Laura had a recipe for nutella semifreddo because someone asked for it! That's all I'm saying

[@karlalikesyou]

What blender are you using?

[@IM-hu3co]

When I'm looking for measuring cups, I'm very confused because most of them are 1 Cup means 250 ml. But in some recipes, 1 Cup means 240ml. Which one is true? The rest of volumes are same?

[@HeyLookItsAmy]

Miharu Ikenoue it depends on your country. It's really confusing

[@LauraVitaleFan]

@Amalsaleban Laura vitale made a great semifreddo on her channel

[@gulyaswift1503]

😋👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@sarahcarey984]

sure any berry would work

[@Yasifey84]

Mmmm ;)

[@KBTCaseyFlynn]

Recipe link has been hijacked.

[@HeyLookItsAmy]

I think I'll leave the lady fingers out of mine, seems like an odd texture to combine with semifreddo

[@sarahcarey984]

sure, any berry would work.

[@andhikaputra4038]

Lol at the tip of the day.

[@annabeeezy]

do you make your own lady fingers? if so, i would love to see a video.. :D

[@lucygirl4926]

Ooookay, not sure if I'd consider this "the easiest dessert I'll make this summer...." but delicious-looking nonetheless...

[@johnjohnson3709]

lucy girl , you at least should learn how to do a lemon curd or any fruit curd.

[@TheBunkitty]

Im surprised you got many likes for that comment! I agree with you though!

[@johnpaogonzalez2913]

The lady fingers looked like hotdogs

[@iChinkyEyes]

Where can I buy the ladyfingers?

[@Thaneii]

Let's just agree that there's a bit of both. Laura has a photo of herself at the bottom of the screen when annotations are on. And I feel that anyone who does this is an egoist. We don't need to see a photo of her at the bottom of the screen WHILE we're watching her. We ALREADY know who we're watching. If you haven't seen this yet, check it out for yourself on her more recent videos, going back to who knows when.

[@Thaneii]

I wasn't even trying to get liked or thumbs up. I just stated my opinion, and it seems like others agree with it.

[@tammiemartinez6485]

So basically a semifreddo is an ice box cake, lol. Other than using different biscuits or crackers everything else is the same... 😏

[@kristyn2681]

What are lady fingers?

[@nachoijp]

they're a type of spongy dry cookie. They're quite common, you should be able to find them almost everywhere, google it to be sure :)

[@kristyn2681]

Ok

[@MrsBestiaAzul]

But... why?

[@budourhasona861]

can I replace the raspberry with strawberry?

[@bethanygarcia5870]

what are lady fingers

[@IsaacMaganaMusic]

+Bethany Garcia fingers that are very lady like.

[@IsaacMaganaMusic]

+Bethany Garcia kidding, they are ponge biscuits, also known as savoiardi.

[@iqahnh]

what ego im fine with her it's really rude to bad mouth ppl like that

[@paufg]

what the hell are freaking lady fingers. i do not understand. wwhat

[@846524162]

She has an attitude, not an ego. Can't watch her videos...

[@Thaneii]

Laura has constantly placed her ads on her vids for all of her other contact info, which is distracting. I mentioned that to her, and she then blocked me. So clearly, she doesn't want anyone questioning her need to plaster her overkill of self promotions throughout her videos. Even when annotations are off, she's overly self promoting. It's a shame really, because I DID like to watch Laura. I'd MUCH rather watch Sarah, because she's more down to Earth, and doesn't have an overpowering ego.

[@kristenharris5770]

Yeah what are LADY fingers

[@Thaneii]

I don't like Laura. She's got too much of an ego.

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

She's ok but sometimes you can actually see that ego coming out...unless you're one of her minions then obviously you will worship her.

[@TheBunkitty]

Yeah i know. I do like her as a cook but i find her quite annoying and as like you said a big ego.
