Cherry Semi-Freddo with Raspberries and Coulis
A very elegant semifreddo perfect for entertaining. Make in advance and forget about it! You could shake it up a bit by adding different fruit or nuts
Semi Freddo, really has nothing to do with chocolate frogs, just sayin. Semi frozen, is the literal transalation and so you should really serve this a little while after removing it from the freezer so that you can get a spoon through it easily.
I think it is a lot easier to serve these if you make them in individual servings, also means that you can control how many portions you get from each recipe...remember, smaller is better and it means there are left overs in the freezer for you tomorrow! It makes the perfect dinner party dessert on a hot summer night. A little bit decadent and certainly elegant...so plan that evening...go on. Impress without stress...that’s my motto.
