    Heat the berries, sugar and lemon juice until pulp-like with the juices released. Blend, then press the purée through a sieve to remove the seeds. Set aside to cool.

Notes

  • You can use berry yoghurt instead of natural (you may not need as much sugar; so taste and adjust as needed). Add extras like toasted nuts or white chocolate chunks. - Creamy semifreddo is great in cones or frozen in popsicle moulds. You can also serve it in bowls with fresh raspberries and a scattering of toasted almonds.
