Maple Butter Pecan Semifreddo
Ingredients
2 cups
heavy cream, cold
¾ cup plus 4 tsp.
Kowalski's Pure Maple Syrup, divided
5
large egg yolks
6 tbsp. (¾ stick)
Kowalski's Unsalted Butter, melted
½ cup
Kowalski's Honey Toasted Pecans, finely chopped, plus more for serving, if desired
½ cup
Kowalski's Classic Caramel Sauce
- freshly ground Kowalski's Sea Salt, to taste, for serving
Directions
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, beat cream on high until stiff peaks form (2 min.). Transfer to a bowl; refrigerate to keep cold.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring ¾ cup syrup to a boil for 2 min.
- In the mixer bowl, beat egg yolks on high until pale yellow (1-2 min.).
- With mixer running, add hot maple syrup in a slow, steady stream; slowly stream in melted butter.
- Continue mixing until mixture has cooled to room temperature (about 5 min.).
- Gently fold in whipped cream; stir in nuts.
- Scoop mixture into a 5x10" loaf pan; cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze until firm (at least 4 hrs. but can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 week).
- To serve, heat caramel in a small microwave-safe dish until loose but not too hot (about 30 sec.); stir in remaining syrup and set aside.
- Wrap a warm towel around loaf pan; rub the sides to release the semifreddo and invert onto a serving platter.
- Run a sharp knife under hot water; carefully dry with a towel. Use warm knife to slice semifreddo into individual servings.
- Drizzle each slice with a bit of maple caramel; sprinkle with salt and more nuts to taste.
