Instructions
-
1Parfait base (Pâte à Bombe): Whisk 4 egg yolks with 3.2 oz (80g) sugar over a double boiler (bowl over simmering water, bowl bottom does NOT touch water) with an electric mixer until the mixture is light, creamy, and at least doubled in size (8–10 minutes). It must reach ribbon stage: when the mixture falls from a spoon, it forms a ribbon that holds for 3 seconds. Stir in 2 tsp cannabis oil or liquid cannabis butter.
-
2Meringue and whipped cream: Whip 3 egg whites with 2.4 oz (60g) sugar until stiff peaks form. Separately: whip 10 fl oz (300ml) cold heavy whipping cream (at least 35% fat) until stiff. Combine all three: First fold the meringue gently into the egg yolk base (using a spatula, rotating motion from bottom to top), then fold in the whipped cream the same way. No stirring motions—air is the texture of semifreddo.
-
3Freezing: Line a loaf pan (10x4 in / 25x10cm) with plastic wrap (let it overhang). Fill with mixture, smooth the top. Fold plastic wrap over the top. Freeze for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight). Semifreddo should be half-frozen—firm on the outside, creamy-soft on the inside. This is not ice cream that needs an ice cream scoop.
-
4Serving: Remove from freezer, let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to acclimate. Remove plastic wrap, invert onto cutting board, cut into ¾ in (2cm) thick slices. A warm knife blade cuts more cleanly. Serve with fruit sauce (raspberry purée, mango), toasted nuts, or caramelized almonds. Cannabis onset with frozen fat base: 75–90 minutes—slower than with warm dishes.
