Peanut Butter-Chocolate Semifreddo image

The texture of semifreddo (Italian for "half-cold") lies somewhere between ice cream and mousse. Slice this freezer treat for a neat presentation, or serve it in scoops.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups creamy peanut butter (not natural)
4 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (3/4 cup)
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Line a 5-by-10-inch jumbo loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a 4-inch overhang on all sides. In a medium saucepan, combine milk and 1 cup sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium-high, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, add peanut butter, and whisk until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  • In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, add chocolate, and stir until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, whisk cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Add half the peanut butter mixture and whisk until combined. With a rubber spatula, add half the remaining peanut butter mixture and gently fold 3 times (mixture will be rippled).
  • Transfer half the cream mixture to loaf pan. Top with half the peanut butter mixture and 1/4 cup chocolate mixture. Top with remaining cream mixture, then drizzle with remaining peanut butter mixture and 1/4 cup chocolate mixture. With a skewer or thin-bladed knife, swirl mixtures together. Freeze until firm, about 5 hours (or up to 3 days). Let sit 20 minutes at room temperature before serving with extra chocolate sauce.

I had some leftover semifreddo and it froze well. I just thawed it in the refrigerator overnight and it was just as good as when I first made it.

This semifreddo is very rich, so a little goes a long way. I would recommend serving it in small portions.

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The chocolate flavor is dominant, so it's not too peanut buttery.
