a Summer of Semifreddo

These super refreshing semifreddo recipes first appeared in our June 2015 issue courtesy Natalie Findlay.

Is it a half-baked idea to want homemade ice cream, but you don't have an ice cream maker? Don't fret, try the delicious, half-frozen, just like ice cream but better, semifreddo.

Semifreddo is ice cream's simple cousin. You get the same creamy, frozen deliciousness but without the expensive machine and it is much quicker to make. The texture is similar to frozen mousse, and it literally melts in your mouth. You will be delighted with how easy it is and how refreshing it is on a hot summer's evening. This dessert is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

Once you’ve tried out these recipes, have fun working with your own favourite flavours too. Semifreddo can be made in any shape pan and pre-frozen in single servings for that impromptu dinner party. Have fun!
