Semifreddo

Posted by: CC Bakes


Italian for ‘half cold’, this class of semi-frozen deserts one of my favourites. Because I love semi-melted ice cream, it makes sense to me that this is not completely frozen.

Typically ice cream cakes or semi-frozen custards, semifreddo usually has the texture of frozen mousse, produced by combining ice cream and whipped cream.

This one was a vanilla and hazelnut semi, with pink sherbet and a dehydrated orange on top. It is the type of decadent desert Marie Antoinette would have eaten when she ran out of cake.

Drunk with sweet glass of William Downie Petit Manseng.

Another delicious taste of what comes every Tuesday from CC Bakes.
