Sweet and Sour Strawberry Semifreddo


Perfectly refreshing summer treat! Plus,super fast, easy and do-ahead, this semifreddo is perfect for a party!  I saved a bit of the jammy strawberry liquid to puddle on the plate, and served it with sliced strawberries instead of black sesame seeds.
I prepared mine in a loaf pan, lined with plastic wrap. Once frozen, it is easy to remove from loaf pan, unwrap, and slice.  It makes a beautiful plated presentation that way, instead of just scooped in a bowl.


Ingredients

SERVINGS: 8
  • 1 pound strawberries, hulled, quartered
  •  cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons black sesame seeds
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  •  cup sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt

Preparation

ACTIVE: 30 MINTOTAL: 5 HRS
  • Cook strawberries and sugar in a medium pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until strawberries have broken down into a thick, chunky jam (they should not be syrupy), 10–15 minutes. Stir in vinegar; let cool.
  • Meanwhile, toast black sesame seeds in a dry small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool.
  • Whip cream and salt until cream holds a medium-stiff peak. Gently whisk in sweetened condensed milk and yogurt until completely blended. Gently fold in half of strawberry jam, just enough to create streaks, then gently fold in remaining jam (mixture should look marbled with pockets of jam).
  • Transfer to a medium bowl or loaf pan and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 3 days.
  • Serve semifreddo topped with toasted sesame seeds.
