"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Hazelnut Semifreddo

 

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp water
1/2 cup toasted & husked hazelnut
2 2/3 cup well-chilled whipping cream
8 tsp amaretto liqueur
8 yolks only-room temp egg
10 tbsp sugar
1 garnish red seedless grapes
1 white only egg
1 sugar
1 sprigs mint



 

Preparation

For praline: Grease baking sheet. Heat 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons
water in heavy small saucepan over low heat, swirling pan
occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil until
light brown. Stir in hazelnuts. Return mixture to boil. Immediately
pour onto prepared sheet, spreading thinly. Cool completely.
Pulverize in processor or blender.

For semifreddo: Beat cream in large chilled bowl until beginning to
thicken. Add liqueur and beat just until peaks form. Beat yolks with
10 tablespoons sugar in another large bowl until pale yellow and
slowly dissolving ribbon forms when beaters are lifted. Gently fold
in whipped cream and 1/3 cup praline. Spoon into serving glasses.
Freeze at least 2 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.)

Beat egg white to blend. Dip grapes in egg white, then sugar, coating
well. Let dry 30 minutes.

If semifreddo is frozen solid, let soften in refrigerator 30 minutes
before serving. Garnish with grapes and mint.
