Instructions

Prepare the raspberry sauce.

Place raspberries, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan and place over medium heat.

Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes or until thickened.

Remove from heat and sieve to remove seeds. Let cool completely.

Prepare chocolate ganache.

Place the chocolate and cream into a medium heaptproof bowl.

Melt over a bain-marie. Set aside to cool slightly.

Prepare the vanilla base.

Line with plastic wrap a 8½ x 4½-inch (1 liter capacity) loaf pan. Set aside.

In a heatproof bowl, whisk the whole eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla until combined.

Set the bowl over a bain-marie (simmering pot of water) and whisk constantly for about 57 minutes, until the mixture becomes pale, thickened, and slightly warm to the touch (about 7075°C / 160170°F).

Remove from heat, and let it cool to room temperature.

In a separate bowl, whip the cold whipping cream until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled vanilla mixture in batches, keeping as much air as possible.

Transfer a bit less then a third to the prepared pan.

Add spoons of raspberry sauce and chocolate ganache in a scattered pattern.

Repeat the layering with more vanilla base, raspberry sauce, and ganache until all the components are used up, finishing with a layer of vanilla base on top.

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.

When ready to serve, invert onto a serving platter and remove the plastic wrap.

Garnish with fresh raspberries.

Cut the semifreddo into slices, and serve with remaining raspberry sauce, chocolate curls and fresh raspberries.
