Pomegranate and elderflower semifreddo Recipe

Semifreddo is a delicious frozen dessert with a light, mousse-like texture. This recipe, flavoured with bottlegreen Pomegranate and elderflower cordial, takes just 20 minutes to make and only uses six ingredients.

For the most attractive finish we suggest slicing the semifreddo and serving with a scattering of extra pomegranate seeds and roasted, chopped pistachios.

It’s a good idea to roast nuts in bulk so you always have them on hand for future recipes. We recommend cooking on 180C/Gas 10 on a lined baking tray for 8-12 minutes. Keep a close eye on them and shake the tray regularly as they can quickly turn from golden to burnt.

Ingredients

• 2 egg whites
• 4 egg yolks
• 125ml Bottlegreen Pomegranate & Elderflower Cordial 
• 250ml mascarpone
• 90g pomegranate seeds, plus extra for decoration
• 50g pistachio nuts, roasted and chopped

You will need

• 900ml loaf tin, line the base and sides with a single sheet of baking paper that overhangs

Method

1. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and set aside. 
2. Use an electric whisk to beat the yolks with half the cordial for about 10 mins, until the mixture is thick and foamy.
3. Beat the mascarpone and remaining cordial until softly peaking. Fold the mixtures, pomegranate seeds and pistachios together.
4. Pour into the tin and freeze until firm - at least 4 hrs. 
5. Run a knife along each short end then invert onto a serving plate and peel away the paper. Scatter over the extra pomegranate seeds and nuts for decoration.
