How to Make Raspberry Pistachio Semifreddo with Honey Drizzle

Total time: 40 min · Yields 8 servings

1. 1

   Create the Sabayon

   Set a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Combine egg yolks and sugar. Whisk constantly for about 6 to 8 minutes until the mixture is pale, thick, and reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from heat and continue whisking until cooled to room temperature.

2. 2

   Incorporate Flavors

   Gently fold the pistachio paste and vanilla bean paste into the cooled egg mixture until fully combined and streak-free.

3. 3

   Whip the Cream

   In a large chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-beat or the texture will become grainy.

4. 4

   Fold and Combine

   Add one-third of the whipped cream to the pistachio base and stir to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining cream and the chopped pistachios using a spatula, maintaining as much air as possible.

5. 5

   Swirl and Freeze

   Pour half the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Drop spoonfuls of the crushed raspberry mixture and a few whole berries on top. Cover with the remaining pistachio mixture. Use a skewer to gently swirl the layers together. Fold the overhanging plastic wrap over the top.

6. 6

   Final Set

   Place the pan in the coldest part of the freezer for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until firm all the way through.
