Gluten Free Pomegranate Semifreddo Recipe
Happy New Year everyone!
I hope your holidays were wonderful and that 2009 turns out to be all that you hope for and more.
I have not figured out what New Year’s Resolutions I want to make this year. Well, that is not entirely true. I figured out the ones I want to make but I didn’t think that start smoking, drink more coffee and quit exercising are the resolutions I ought to make.
One of my on-going resolutions is to simplify my life without giving up any wonderfulness.
This little Gluten Free Pomegranate Semifreddo Recipe fits right in with that resolution. It is essentially a no-churn ice cream. Semifreddo means “half cold” in Italian and as the name implies, it never freezes to the rock hard consistency that ice cream can. Whip up some pomegranate juice, confectioner’s sugar and cream, stick it in the freezer and in as little as 4 hours, you are eating ice cream! No churning, no fancy equipment, no returning to the freezer every hour to scrape it, as with granitas. It is simple, simple, simple! And quite wonderful. And of course, it is gluten-free.
Gluten Free Pomegranate Semifreddo Recipe

- ¾ cup pomegranate juice
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar

Instructions
- Whisk together the pomegranate juice, lime juice and powdered sugar until sugar is dissolved. Add cream and whisk (either by hand or with a hand mixer) until soft pink peaks appear.

- Serve with fresh pomegranate seeds as a garnish, if desired.

That looks so good. And I can’t get over how easy that is. Take that all you people with ice cream makers!
It may be a bit cold outside now but I’m still down for some of this. Never had a semifreddo before but I’ve heard wonderful things and pomegranate seems like a good place to start.
This sounds so refreshing and a great start to the New year!!!
Sounds yummy! No resolutions for me this year, just gonna take it easy and try to swim with the tide for a change…. x x x
Oooh that sounds good. I love pomegranate. Good thoughts for resolutions. Although I was angry my first day back at work and got stressed out. I was used to being home for 2 weeks with the cats and hubby every day. This might take the edge off.
