Raspberry and Pistachio Semifreddo

I love this dessert because it is super easy to prepare! I serve this in the summer at our lake house and everyone gets so excited. I remember the first time I made it our friends the Zacharys were over for dinner and their eyes opened so wide when I walked out with this dessert. All I can say is that the semifreddo platter and everyone's plates were empty. Give this recipe a try if you want to impress your friends. It's gluten-free. Serve garnished with extra raspberries or puree some of the raspberries with a teaspoon of honey and drizzle on top.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons honey
• 6 egg yolks
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 8 ounces fresh raspberries
• 2 ½ tablespoons chopped pistachio nuts

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine egg yolks with 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon honey in the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment; beat until volume doubles and mixture is pale and creamy, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Beat heavy cream in a bowl with an electric mixer until firm peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently fold cream into egg yolk mixture.

Step 3

Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on both sides. Pour mixture into the pan, smoothing the top. Cover with plastic wrap.

Step 4

Freeze until semifreddo is chilled, about 1 1/2 hour. Remove from freezer and stir in raspberries and pistachio nuts. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.

Step 5

Let semifreddo soften in the refrigerator before serving, about 15 minutes. Turn out of the pan and cut into slices.
