Pineapple Semifreddo

Za ovaj recept vam ne treba masina za sladoled. Priprema je brza i jednostavna, a rezultat ukusn, lagan i penast desert. Preuzet je od Giade De Laurentiis i jedino sto bi mu naredni put dodala je mrvica naribane limunove korice i soka, mada je i bez toga za mene ovo savrsena letnja poslastica.

250 ml. slatke pavlake
2 kasike secera
1 kasicica vanile
3 belanca
567 gr. usitnjenog ananasa (1 konzerva)
8 kasika secera
60 ml. vode

Konzervu ustitnjenog ananasa otvorite i ostavite da se procedi.
9 kasika secera i vode pomesajte i stavite da se kuva oko 5 minuta. Za to vreme umutite belanca i u tankom mlazu ulivajte vruc sirup. Neprestano mutite dok se sne ne udvostruci, oko 10 min.
Ulupajte slatku pavlaku sa 2 kasike secera i vanilom.
U belanca dodajte usitnjeni ananas, pavlaku koju ste umutili i lagano promesajte da se sve ujednaci.
Izrucite u kalup oblozen prozirnom folijom i smrznite. Secite na snite i uzivajte.



************************************************************************

1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg whites
1/2 cup simple syrup,
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

Simple Syrup:
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar

In a saucepan, combine water and sugar over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved. Take pan off heat and cool the syrup.

Directions
Spray a 9 1/4 by 5 1/4 by 3-inch (6-cup) metal loaf pan lightly with nonstick spray. Line the pan with plastic wrap with enough plastic wrap extending over the sides to cover the top after the pan has been filled.


In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

In another medium bowl, whip egg whites until foamy. With the mixer on, slowly add the simple syrup. Continue beating on high speed until the mixture is glossy and doubles in volume, about 7 minutes.

Fold the pineapple into the egg whites. Fold the whipped cream into the egg white mixture. Gently, spoon the mixture into the loaf pan. Fold over the plastic wrap to cover and freeze for few hours.
