White Chocolate Lemon Semifreddi


Ingredients

7 ounces good-quality white chocolate, chopped
1 3/4 cups heavy cream
4 large egg whites
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice


Preparation

1. Place white chocolate in medium bowl. In medium saucepan, bring cream to gentle boil. Pour cream over white chocolate and let stand for 30 seconds, to melt chocolate. Whisk until smooth. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.

2. Transfer mixture to bowl of electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Beat at medium speed until soft peaks form. Cover bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.

3. Cut out 6 strips of aluminum foil, each measuring 6" x 12". Fold each strip in half lengthwise, to form 3" x 12" strips. Wrap each strip around outside of six 4-ounce ramekins, and secure with tape (the “collar” should extend about 1" above top of ramekin).

4. In bowl of electric mixer, using whisk attachment, beat egg whites at medium-high speed until soft peaks begin to form. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into white chocolate mixture along with lemon zest and juice. Spoon into prepared ramekins, filling them to top of collar and smoothing tops. Freeze for at least 4 hours.

5. Remove collars and serve frozen.

A 2005 study based at Tufts University in Medford, MA found that dark chocolate actually helps to lower blood pressure. In a controlled experiment comparing 20 different people, researchers found that dark chocolate was a significant factor in lowering blood pressure, while white chocolate was not. The key ingredient thought to cause this phenomenon is flavonoids.

Flavonoids, also found in wine are types of pigments that are water-soluble and created by plants of many varieties. There are thousands of different flavanoids. Plants use flavonoids in the process of photosynthesis.

How the human body actually uses and/or processes flavonoids is still not determined but they have been linked to good health in many areas - particularly blood circulation.

If you are a science buff, then you'll be interested to know that flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds containing 15 carbon atoms, two benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain. If you're just an average, everyday person with a sweet tooth, then you'll be interested to know that good things are contained in a single bite of dark chocolate. So please, put down the chemistry book and enjoy some today!
