So it’s not quite ice cream, but you wouldn’t know. This indulgent looking treat is known as Semi Freddo (semi frozen) and it’s an Italian classic. I have made it a couple of times now and this particular flavour concoction is by far the most luxurious one I’ve come up with; chocolate brownie and fudge. If you’re after a cool hit of chocolatey sweetness I urge you to whip this recipe up- it’s truly delicious. Here’s the recipe!
You’ll need 500ml cream, 4 eggs, 50g caster sugar, a pinch salt and some vanilla extract (I use pods) for the base mixture.
1) Whip up your cream in one bowl until soft peaks form.
2) Whip the egg whites and salt in another bowl until stiff peaks form.
3) In your last and biggest bowl, combine the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla until pale and thick.
4) Fold the cream and whites into your egg yolk mixture, then you’re ready to get experimental!
5) I melt milk chocolate and fold it into the mix, then chop up fudge, homemade brownies and chopped hazelnuts and add that too.
6) Pour into a plastic container and freeze for four hours. Let it soften up for a few minutes before you dig in. Enjoy!
