Chocolate Coffee Semifreddo (Ice Cream) image

I made this dessert for a dinner party.. it was a hit! I was actually surprised with myself that I made Semifreddo, you know ice cream at home without an ice cream maker.. I thought it was almost impossible to achieve such great texture and taste.. beautiful and versatile dessert.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 egg
4 egg yolks
1/2 c sugar
1 1/4 c double cream
1 Tbsp instant coffee powder
1 Tbsp coffee liqueur, chocolate liqueur, brandy, rum etc. (alcohol of your choice, optional)
1 chocolate bar of your choice (snicker's, mars, toblerone etc.)
1 Tbsp cocoa powder (to decorate, optional)
dark chocolate curls (to decorate, optional)

Steps:

  • 1. -Line a loaf tin with clingfilm. -Chop the chocolate bar into small-medium size chunks, set aside. -Put the coffee, liqueur, egg, egg yolks and sugar in a heat proof bowl and mix to dissolve. -Beat the mixture over a saucepan of gently simmering water, until it is pale and thick. (I use a whisk for this, but you can use a hand-held electric whisk)
  • 2. -In a bowl, whip the double cream until thick. -Gently fold in the egg and sugar mixture. -Add the chopped chocolate bar to the mixture. -Pour into the prepared loaf tin, and cover carefully with clingfilm before putting it in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours (I always make it the night before)
  • 3. -When ready to serve, turn out the semifreddo on to a suitably sized CHILLED plate. (better to put the plate in the freezer for few minutes or else the semifreddo will start melting the minute it hits the plate) -Decorate with cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, nuts, chocolate chunks, coffee beans etc. whatever you like.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my semifreddo turned out icy and grainy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This was a great recipe! The coffee flavor was nice and strong, and the chocolate was rich and decadent. I would definitely make this again.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out perfect. The chocolate and coffee flavors are perfectly balanced, and the texture is rich and creamy. I've made it for parties and potlucks, and it's always a hit.
