- 150ml/5fl oz whisky
- 75g/2¾oz white currants
- 40g/1½oz sugar
- ½ lemon, zest only
- ½ tsp grated root ginger
- 4 free-range eggs, yolks only
- 60g/2¼oz caster sugar
- 250ml/9fl oz double cream
- 75g/2¾oz white currants
- Line six 125ml/4fl oz pudding moulds with clingfilm. To make the whisky cordial, place the whisky, white currants, sugar, lemon zest and ginger in a saucepan and heat gently. Do not allow the mixture to boil. Strain and push the pulp through a fine sieve to extract the juice then set aside to cool.
- For the semifreddo, place the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water and whisk until the mixture is pale and thick. Remove the pan from the heat and continue to whisk until the mixture is cool.
- Mix 125ml/4fl oz of the whisky cordial into the semifreddo mixture a tablespoon at a time. Whisk the cream until it forms thick ribbons then fold it into the semifreddo. Pour the mixture into the lined moulds and freeze overnight.
- For the garnish, prick the whitecurrants with a pin and place in a bowl with the remaining whisky cordial. Place in the fridge to macerate overnight.
- To serve, turn the semifreddos onto plates and scatter with the macerated white currants.
