Mocha Semifreddo
4 oz. amaretti cookies (about 20)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar, divided
8 large egg yolks
1/3 cup brewed espresso
2 tablespoons dry Marsala wine
1 cup heavy cream
Spray loaf pan with nonstick spray; line with plastic wrap, allowing excess to hang over ends and sides. Finely grind cookies in food processor. Add melted butter and process until crumbs are moistened. Press crumb mixture onto bottom of pan. Refrigerate.
Whisk 1/2 cup sugar, egg yolks, espresso, Marsala, and a pinch of salt in large metal bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water).
Whisk mixture until thick and creamy and an instant–read thermometer inserted into the mixture registers 165 F, about 5 minutes. Set bowl over another bowl of ice to cool completely.
Using an electric mixer, beat cream and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in another large bowl until firm peaks form. Using a large rubber spatula, fold whipped cream into the custard. Spoon mixture into prepared crust. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until frozen, at least 8 hours.
To serve, unfold plastic wrap; invert semifreddo onto platter. Remove plastic wrap and cut into 1–inch slices.
