Description

A dreamy white chocolate dessert, brightened with tart cherries. No-churn, easy to make ahead!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 eggs (room temperature)
  • 3 oz (85 g) caster sugar
  • 10 oz (300 ml) cream, whipped to soft peaks
  • 7 oz (200 g) high quality white chocolate (I used Whittaker’s White Chocolate with Raspberry), plus extra to decorate
  • 2 cups (300 g) cherries, stoned and halved (or sliced more finely for easier slicing), plus extra to decorate

Instructions

  1. Line a 1.5 litre loaf pan with plastic wrap, ensuring sufficient overlap to cover the top.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and caster sugar until thick, pale, and tripled in volume (this will take several minutes).
  3. Fold in whipped cream and chocolate. Carefully fold in chopped cherries until just combined (overmixing will stain the mixture grey).
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, fold over the plastic wrap, and wrap in foil.
  5. Freeze for several hours or overnight.
  6. Turn the semi-freddo out onto a platter and decorate with extra cherries or white chocolate shards. Alternatively, serve in scoops.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, melt the white chocolate completely before folding it into the cream mixture.
  • If cherries are out of season, substitute with raspberries or other berries, adjusting sweetness as needed.
  • To prevent ice crystals from forming, ensure the semifreddo is tightly wrapped and frozen in a consistent temperature.
