Cooking Directions
- Place eggs, yolks, sugar, lemon juice and zest in a heatproof bowl. Whisk over a simmering water bath, ensuring bowl does not touch water. Continue mixing until mixture has doubled in volume and has thickened. Allow to cool and refrigerate covered until chilled.
- Using electric beaters, whip Bulla Thickened Cream until firm peaks form. Gently fold the chilled lemon mixture through with a large spoon a little at a time until all is incorporated and mixed through.
- Pour mixture into a cling wrap lined, 26 x 8cm loaf pan, 7cm deep. Cover well with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, approx. 4-6 hours.
- For the crumble, pre-heat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).
- Process biscuits and almonds together until a coarse crumb is formed. Add to a bowl with butter and sugar, mixing with hands to form clumps. Spread over a lined oven tray and bake for 8 minutes until crunchy. Set aside to cool.
- To serve, slice semifreddo and serve on a plate with crumble mixture and fresh berries.
