LEMON-RASPBERRY SEMIFREDDO

Steps:

• Line a 4 1/2-by-8 1/2-inch loaf pan with 2 sheets of plastic wrap, leaving a 3-inch overhang on long sides. In a blender, puree raspberries and sugar, scraping down sides as needed. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids; discard solids.
• In a large bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. With a rubber spatula, fold in lemon curd. Spoon 2 cups cream mixture into pan and smooth top. Dip ladyfingers in raspberry puree and arrange in pan, parallel to long edges. Pour remaining raspberry puree on ladyfingers. Top with remaining cream mixture and smooth top.
• Wrap pan with overhanging plastic and freeze 8 hours (or up to 2 weeks). To serve, invert onto a serving platter, remove plastic, and slice.

LEMON CURD AND RASPBERRY SWIRL PIE

Steps:

• 1. If you are using frozen berries you need to defrost them and let them drain. In a small sauce pan add water, juice, sugar and corn starch whisk until corn starch is dissolved. Turn on heat to medium and cook until mixture starts to thicken. When it thickens up turn off heat and add jello and whisk until dissolved. Add fresh or frozen berries to the mixture.
• 2. Have your pie shell ready and lemon curd ready. With a soup ladle or a measuring cup add a layer of lemon custard than some of the berry mixture. Keep doing this until all the ingredients are done. At this point you need to put the pie in the fridge and let it chill for at least 4 hours or over night.
• 3. You can substitute raspberries for strawberries or even cherries will be good as well. You can also use a Grahm cracker crust if you prefer. I like to top my pie with some whipped topping.
