HALVAH SEMIFREDDO WITH HAZELNUTS
Aglaia Kremezi, a historian of Greek food who eschewed sesame desserts as a child, is now an enthusiast. In her own kitchen, she has rethought the traditional tahini filling for a Lenten cinnamon roll called tahinopita, and developed a super-easy recipe for halvah semifreddo, a frozen emulsion of fresh whipped cream and crystalline halvah. It is a spectacular dessert to serve at a dinner party, and the sesame undertones will surprise and delight guests.

Steps:
- Line a small loaf pan with plastic wrap. In a bowl, mash the halva with a strong fork until crumbled.
- Stir in the nuts (reserve some for topping), while continuing to mash, mixing the nuts and halvah together until almost smooth.
- Beat the cream to soft peaks and fold into the halvah mixture. Pour into the loaf pan and bang the pan on the counter several times to distribute the mixture evenly. Transfer to the freezer and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours. (To keep longer, wrap semifreddo in plastic wrap and keep for up to 1 month.)
- To serve whole, place the frozen loaf in a serving dish. Drizzle chocolate sauce or spoon fruit preserves on top, if desired. Arrange hazelnuts on top and slice at the table. Alternatively, serve as individual slices and pass toppings at the table.
