I suppose, then, that it shouldn't come as a surprise that I would make up a recipe for a strawberry and lime semifreddo in the middle of Winter.
Thanks to the opening of Costco in Melbourne I am the proud owner of several kilos of beautiful Queensland strawberries (hey, at $6.99 a kilo wouldn't you be too?) so I needed to come up with something that would use up some of these delicious berries.
Quite literally meaning 'semi-cold', semifreddo is a broad term for a frozen dessert that isn't quite an icecream. This simple recipe does not involve cooking any ingredients and you can make it without an icecream maker (I don't have one!)
500g strawberries, washed and hulled
100g icing sugar
Juice of one lime
1 1/4 cups thickened/whipping cream
Place strawberries, icing sugar and lime juice in food processor and blend until smooth.
Semifreddos are meant to be served a little melted so scoop some into a bowl about 10-15 minutes in advance.
Enjoy!
