Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Strawberry Semifreddo Dessert.
Step 1
Begin by lining ten ramekins with plastic wrap, then arrange them on a baking sheet for easy handling.
Step 2
Next, hull the strawberries with a knife and transfer them to a food processor.
Step 3
Add sugar, Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and balsamic vinegar if desired.
Step 4
Don’t forget a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
Step 5
Pulse the mixture to combine, then blend on high until it reaches a silky smooth consistency.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold in the strawberry puree using a spatula, ensuring most streaks disappear for a harmonious blend.
Step 7
Carefully fill the prepared ramekins with the strawberry mixture, leaving a small gap of about 1/4 to 1/8 inch from the top.
Step 8
Give the baking sheet a gentle tap on the counter to settle the mixture, then cover with plastic wrap and freeze until it’s mostly firm, which should take around 1.
Step 9
5 hours.
Step 10
While the semifreddo is chilling, crush the cookies in a resealable plastic bag with a rolling pin until you have about 1.
Step 11
5 cups of crumbs.
Step 12
In a bowl, combine the crumbs with melted butter until they are well mixed.
Step 13
Distribute the cookie crumb mixture evenly among the ramekins, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon.
Step 14
Cover again and freeze until completely firm, which will take about 2 hours.
Step 15
Meanwhile, toss diced strawberries with sugar in a bowl and let them sit at room temperature for about an hour to create a delicious syrup.
Step 16
When you’re ready to serve, warm each ramekin in your hands to help release the semifreddo.
Step 17
Invert it onto a plate and generously top with the syrupy strawberries.
Step 18
Allow the dessert to thaw for 10 to 15 minutes before indulging in this delightful treat.
Step 19
Enjoy the sweet, creamy layers and the burst of fresh strawberry flavor that will transport you to a sunny day!.
