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.

This semifreddo was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I'll try making it with less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of coffee-flavored desserts, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The coffee flavor was subtle and not overpowering. The semifreddo was also very creamy and rich. I would definitely make this again.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The semifreddo was icy and not very creamy. I think I overbeat the mixture. I'll try again with a different recipe.

This semifreddo was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best dessert he's ever had. I think next time I'll try making it with less chocolate.
