Peach Semifreddo

No ratings yet
Peach semifreddo is a silky, no-churn frozen Italian dessert that's half-cold, half-creamy. Roasted peaches bring natural sweetness and depth, while whipped eggs and cream create an airy, soft texture. It's a make-ahead dessert that freezes for at least 4 hours before serving.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Peaches quartered
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 1 Peach chopped
  • 4 Eggs
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon Bourbon
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • Pinch Kosher salt

Equipment

  • Roasting pan
  • Freezer-safe container
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Blender

Method
 

Roast the Peaches
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a roasting pan and place the quartered peaches in it. Sprinkle with sugar. Roast for 10 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  2. Remove from oven and set aside 1 peach worth of chunks for the sauce. Transfer the remaining peaches to a blender and puree until smooth. Let cool completely.
Make the Semifreddo Base
  1. In a mixing bowl, whip eggs and sugar with an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the cooled peach puree, lemon juice, lemon zest, bourbon, and a pinch of kosher salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the peach-egg mixture in thirds, gently folding to maintain airiness.
Freeze
  1. Line a freezer-safe container with plastic wrap. Transfer the semifreddo mixture to the container and smooth the top. Freeze for a minimum of 4 hours or until firm but scoopable.
Serve
  1. Remove from freezer 5 minutes before serving. Slice and spoon the reserved chopped peaches as a sauce over each portion. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Storage: Semifreddo is meant to live in the freezer, keep it tightly wrapped or in a covered container for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing so it's scoopable but still holds its shape.
