Dark Chocolate Semifreddo
"Semifreddo is very similar to ice cream, but you don’t need an ice cream maker. Its painfully easy, just a little whipping, mixing, folding and in about 10 minutes, you’re done. One note: It contains raw eggs."
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 4 ounces dark chocolate (60-70%)
- 3 tablespoons superfine sugar
- 2 eggs, separated (room temperature)
- 8 ounces cream
directions
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments and stir well until melted. Set aside.
- Whip the egg whites in a medium size bowl, until medium-stiff peaks. Whip the cream to soft peaks in another medium sized bowl.
- Whip together the sugar and egg yolks in a large bowl, until pale. Scrape the chocolate into the bowl, and whip for several minutes until the mixture is very thick and smooth.
- Fold in the egg whites and then the cream.
- Scrape the mixture into a cake pan, loaf pan or individual molds and freeze for at least 4 hours.
- To unmold onto a plate, dip the bottom of the mold into hot water and then run a knife around the sides. It should pop out easily.
- Let sit at room temperature (after unmolding) for 15-20 minutes to soften before serving.
- Note 1: If the yolks and chocolate seizes up on you, gently warm it in a bowl over simmering water and then add a bit of the whites and beat the heck out of it.
- Note 2: You can use crushed cookies on the bottom for a crust or leave it plain.

Was a little bitter. Needs a bit more sugar. Also, was not quite as easy to fold the ingredients as the chocolate egg sugar mixture was solidifying

I'm 23 years old and I live in Trinidad. One of the islands in the Caribbean.
I love baking and have a major sweet tooth but I am trying to cook more savoury foods and I am enjoying trying new recipes.
Recently I have come to love photographing the food I make. Too bad they don't all come out photo worthy, but at least they still taste good! lol
