Semifreddo
1) Cling wrap 2 steel trays (double layer)
2) Whip yolks and sugar until white and fluffy
3) Boil water and sugar and bring up to 120’C
4) Once fluffy add the sugar syrup, continue whipping until the bowl is room temperature to touch.
5) Bloom gelatin, melt gelatin over bain marie. Temper the yolk mix with gelatin. Stir in liquor, liquorice and violet extracts.
6) Transfer the tempered mixture back into the bowl and hand whisk. Make sure cream is just about hard peak. Mix with the cream. Fold cream into the mixture.
7) Swirl the melted liquorice through
8) Divide 500gr per tray and spread evenly. Swirl in wine gum. (100gr of wine gum per tray. Temperature for wine gum should not be over 30’C; I use a spoon and gently drop on the parfait so it doesn’t pool. If the wine pools, it will sink too much and sticks to the cling wrap. So when swirling, try to break up the big chunks of wine gum.)
