White Chocolate with Lime and Basil Semifreddo was created after a request from my three boys for the most zelidecious ice cream I can make. And as I love to complicate things, I started mixing, whipping, zesting and whisking...the result?!? Amazing! I would write "amazing" with capital letters but I don't want people to think I'm shouting. Even though my tastebuds were screaming, crying, singing, asking for more. Now, we don't want to gain weight while in isolation, but, seriously, you must try it! A M A Z I N G! Not shouting, just being enthusiastic:D 

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 150 gr. white chocolate
• 400 ml. cream for whipping (divided in 2: 200 ml+200 ml)
• 4 egg whites
• 50 gr. sugar
• zest from 2 limes
• 10 basil leaves 
• 200 gr. raspberries 

Method:

1. Break the white chocolate into small chunks and place in a bowl. 
2. Place 200 ml. of cream for whipping in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Take from heat immediately and pour over the white chocolate. Whisk until the chocolate has melted and is well combined. Set aside.
3. Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the sugar, one third at a time and continue mixing until well incorporated. You will have a meringue base. Set aside.
4. Whip the remaining 200 ml. of cream until soft peaks. 
5. Zest the limes and chop the basil leaves. Add them to the white chocolate mix. 
6. Incorporate the whipped cream to the chocolate mix. Stir gently.
7. Add the meringue to the chocolate and whipped cream mix and fold in slowly so you keep as much air as possible in the composition. 
8. Take a square/rectangle container that is suitable for freezing and place at the bottom the raspberries, scattering them all over. Pour the semifreddo mix.
9. Put in the freezer for at least 6h or overnight before serving.

Enjoy!
