Ingredients

Method

  1. Line a 20 x 10cm loaf tin with baking paper, extending 5cm above the top.
  2. For the syrup, combine sugar, lemon rind and juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  3. For the semifreddo, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add caster sugar until smooth and glossy.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the yoghurt and cream until thickened. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the lemon syrup. Using a large metal spoon, gently fold in the egg white mixture until well combined.
  5. Coat the biscuits in lemon syrup. Create a base layer of 6 biscuits in the tray topped with half the yoghurt mixture. Repeat another layer. Finish with a layer of biscuits pressed into the yoghurt. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight.
  6. Beat additional cream with icing sugar until thickened.
  7. Remove semifreddo from freezer. Tip onto serving platter, remove baking paper, dollop with cream and top with cherries and raspberries. Drizzle with remaining syrup.
