Line the loaf pan with plastic wrap or parchment paper for easy removal from the pan. Leave an overhang to wrap up the semifreddo while it freezes and also so you can grab onto the overhang and pull it out of the pan.
It’s best to make the raspberry sauce first to allow it to cool completely, so it doesn’t melt the ice cream mixture.
Instead of raspberries, you can use strawberries, blackberries, or blueberries. A mix of berries would also be delicious.
Traditionally, semifreddo is made with either an Italian meringue that uses egg whites or with a custard made with egg yolks. I love the flavor of the egg yolk version so that’s what we’ve used here. I think it’s easier to make as well so it’s always my preference.
You can slice semifreddo or scoop it. I think the slices are really pretty so I prefer to slice mine.
