Step by Step
How to make it?
1
Make the syrup
15 min
Dissolve the sugar in the water in a small saucepan and heat until slightly thickened, without bringing it to a boil. While whisking the egg yolks in a separate bowl, slowly pour in the hot syrup and continue whisking until the mixture is lukewarm.
2
Fold in the cream
10 min
Whip the cream to soft peaks. Gradually fold it into the lukewarm egg mixture with gentle strokes, taking care not to deflate it.
3
Add the figs
5 min
Add the finely chopped dried figs and stir with a spatula until evenly distributed.
4
Pour into the pan and freeze
360 min
Pour the mixture into a pan lined with plastic wrap, cover it tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
5
Slice and serve
5 min
Take it out of the freezer a few minutes before serving and loosen it from the pan. Slice thinly, garnish with sliced dried figs and serve.
Reminder
Important: For the right semifreddo texture, freeze the pan for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight; it may fall apart if sliced too soon. Allergens: contains egg and milk/dairy. Keep the egg yolk mixture warm as you whisk in the syrup; do not let it become boiling hot.
