Orange Semifreddo

Recipesfull introduces to you: Italian Recipes. (Orange Semifreddo). A rich, Italian ice cream dessert made with orange, sugar, eggs, and cream. Great to prepare for a special occasion, as you can make it a few weeks in advance if you need to. I made it for Christmas in the shape of a Christmas tree.

Directions

Step 1

Pour orange juice into a saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin powder on top. Let stand until softened about 1 minute. Place over low heat; stir constantly until granules are completely dissolved about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool about 1 hour.

Step 2

Beat egg whites in a glass metal or ceramic bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Combine egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl; beat using an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Set aside.

Step 3

Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold into the large bowl with the egg yolk-sugar mixture followed by the stiff egg whites. Fold orange-gelatin mixture and orange extract into the large bowl with the egg yolk-cream mixture.

Step 4

Pour mixture into a mold and freeze 8 hours to overnight. When it's time to serve dip mold in hot water to loosen bottom and sides; turn out onto a serving plate. Decorate with orange wedges.
