Cherry and toasted almonds Semifreddo (Semifreddo de cerezas y almendras)

We keep moving towards Christmas.
And time literally flies.
This Semifreddo dessert I did many times for these dates because you do and can eat whenever you want.
(You really can make some days before Christmas)

This time I did with black cherries and almonds and I liked this version. I also want to say I used frozen cherries or canned dark sweet cherries (for those who are not in summer) and only outside decorate with fresh cherries.

Those who are in summer (Australia, New Zeland, Chile) can use fresh or frozen cherries.
But it also has chocolate and almonds. A very Christmas dessert.

Ingredients

4 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup silvered almonds toasted

or a jar of sour cherries

Garnish
bittersweet chocolate and some cherries

Method

In a double boiler whisk together the sugar and egg yolks until the sugar dissolves and the egg yolks triple in size (about 6 minutes).

Using a stand mixer or by hand whip the heavy cream until it forms medium peaks.
Carefully fold in half the egg yolks, making sure not to deflate too much of the whipped cream and then the remaining yolks.

Scraping down the bottom and sides of the bowl. Gently stir in the almond extract. Scoop about 1/3 of the mix into your prepared pan and place 1/4 cup of almonds, about 1/2 cup of cherries .Add more whipped cream and build layers so that you end up with 3 total layers of filling and 1/4 cup almonds and 1/2 cup of cherries. remaining to top.

Carefully fold over the excess plastic wrap and place in the freezer to firm up at least 4 to 6 hours.
To serve remove semifreddo from the freezer 5 minutes before turning out on to a platter. Using a sharp knife (dipped in hot water) cut into thick slices and spoon over cherries, almonds and chocolate pieces.

Pears and strawberry Crumble (Crumble de peras , almendras, coco y frutillas)

If you ask me right now which season I like best, I would say it is autumn so far. Sincerely at this time I would be happy to be in Autumn and winter will come. But we are at the end of spring and starting with a very hot summer , and with all the problems we are living here in our country now is very hard. (Many fights here in many sites that is worry me) You can go out one day and you do not know if there will be subway or buses. Or maybe you have an appointment with the kinesiologist and nobody tells you that he left earlier or that date was suspended, anyway. And when you ask why happens this, all say but you know the times we are living. Im not agree with it. In the middle of this I try to keep doing things like baking, reading and pray (like always reading is my my joy) And I pray a lot by different reasons. Please pray for for our country we need it. I made my first strawberry jam and I hope to make apricots jam soon. And I made this crumble a few weeks ago (time

Baked-Egg Tartlets ( Tartas con huevo al horno y ensaladas)

Spring is just starting here in the Southern hemisphere. But even the mornings are very cold. But the most beautiful are the roses that have begun to bloom little by little. When we arrived at this house there was nothing, absolutely nothing around, no plants, trees, or flowers. The house was abandoned several years.(all these was about 10 years ago) And these roses were brought to me( 10 years ago) by a lady who lived close our house and said : you have to plant these roses, are amazing. We made. They are like a miracle. They have also multiplied over these years. Baked egg tartlets About the recipe are simple and delicious individual tarts with a mustard sauce and egg inside that is baking in the oven. Are really delicious. I love to serve with asparagus and some salads. A big hug to all and have a nice weekend!

Chocolate brownie muffins ( brownies /muffins de chocolate)

I had several recipes ready but it took me some time start the posts, honestly it's hard think what to talk about, maybe from here? of the current situation, of sorrows and distress, or about Christmas that is so close and I love Christmas? Although I am not normally depressed, it is hard to keep the spirit when you watch the news, when there are fires, looting and other things, how did this come about? I dont know. Apart from praying, reading and baking (catharsis) I try to think about Christmas. Even in the most difficult times people celebrate Christmas, and I believe in God and the birth of Jesus, so I will try to take care of the Christmas spirit. Well, apart from continuing to make jams (apricots are maturing) and I don't like to bury the fruit so that's what I'm in. This recipe for "Brownie muffins" has the best of everything, it is a muffin with the taste of a brownie. Thank you all for your mails, love and concern, hugs and kisses to all ! Source
