During this class replay video, I’ll share my simple, step-by-step instructions to handcraft Semifreddo al Cioccolato - Frozen Chocolate Mousse with you. Semifreddo in Italian means ‘’half-cold” or “half-frozen’’, due to its uniquely smooth and velvety texture. Between a gelato and a mousse, I’ll show you a very simple method to make semifreddo without eggs or an ice cream machine.

Typically served chilled and topped with shaved chocolate, semifreddo al cioccolato is an elegant and sumptuous dessert: silky, creamy, and pleasantly cold for summer nights.

Key Ingredients

– dark chocolate bars
