Method

Preparing Semifreddo

  1. 1

    Mix Egg Yolks and Sugar

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy.

  2. 2

    Add Brandy

    Gradually add the brandy to the egg yolk mixture while continuing to whisk until fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Whip Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg yolk mixture until well combined.

  4. 4

    Freeze Mixture

    Pour the mixture into a loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.

Making Flax Caramel

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine flaxseed, sugar, water, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.

  2. 6

    Cook Mixture

    Cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thick and syrupy, about 15 minutes.

Serving the Dish
