Method
Using a hand whisk, whip the cream, sugar, and chosen spirit until soft peaks form.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Fold the egg yolks, blackberries, and 2/3 of the pistachios into the cream mixture. Gently fold in the River Cottage yoghurt.
Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the cream mixture until fully combined.
Transfer to a lined loaf tin or two smaller tins and freeze for at least 3 hours, until set. This dessert can be stored in the freezer for up to a month.
Before serving, place the semifreddo in the fridge for 30 minutes to soften slightly. Invert onto a serving platter, decorate with stewed blackberries mixed with sugar and brandy, and sprinkle with additional pistachios.
Enjoy your show-stopping dessert, perfect for slicing and sharing! If you love this, be sure to try our Chai Kefir Panna Cotta for another delightful treat.
