Semifreddo "Snickers"

Semifreddo is an Italian desert that is semi-frozen. It is like a custard that is yet frozen but not hard. Basically it is made of eggs, sugar and flavour. In this version Snickers (or other candy bars without biscuits) can be used. 


INGREDIENTS
4 eggs separated
50 gram sugar
1 vanilla pod core
4 Snickers bars
50 gram dark chocolate
500 ml of double cream
pinch of salt


Chop 3 of the Snicker bars in chunks and melt them "bain-marie" with the dark chocolate. Stir once a while and make sure all the chocolate and caramel parts get mixed well.


Meanwhile.....  Put the egg whites in a bowl with a pich of salt and beat them (with an electrix mixer) until completely firm.
In another bowl stir the egg-yolks with the sugar and the vanilla core until completely smooth and silky.


Then in yet another bowl beat the cream until it is thick and 150% of its original volume.
Gently stir the yolk mixture into the egg whites, and stir until smooth. But be gentle enough to keep it fluffy. Then gently add the cream to this mixture to a nice custard.


Use half of the custard to mix with the molten chocolate and stir it well to make it smooth and creamy. Then pour both custards in a tray and swirl it a bit with a whisk to make a marble pattern.


Finally chop the 4th Snickers bar and and sprinkle them all over. Chill it down in the freezer for around 4 hrs and serve it. If too hard to scoop leave it out for half an hour and serve it. 


Enjoy
