Grapefruit Semifreddo

Posted June 29th, 2010 in Uncategorized No Comments »

My neighbor left grapefruits outside their house with a memo saying “free grapefruits from the garden!”

I love grapefruits! I thought it was a spring fruit :p It’s refreshing, and great item to eat in the morning – healthy, and rich in vitamin.

I took 3 home, and ate 2 of them as they are. The rest, I made semifreddo with it 🙂

Semifreddo is an Italian, meaning “half cold” “half frozen”. As the name indicates, it is eaten as semi-frozen.

for 1 x pound-cake tin

Segment the grapefruit. Cut into pieces. Keep the juice.
Whip cream with 1/2 sugar until thick, but still able to drop off a spoon.
In another bowl, place egg white and the rest of sugar, and whisk until fluffy (meringue).
Add egg yolks, grapefruit pieces and 2 tbs grapefruit juice to the cream. Mix.
Fold in meringue.
Line a pound-cake tin with cling wrap. Pour the mixture into the tin and freeze until frozen at the edges. Remove from freezer and stir. Return to freezer and re-freeze overnight. Remove from pan and cut into thick slices.
Enjoy it while it’s half-frozen.
