Dark Chocolate Semifreddo image

Semifreddo is very similar to ice cream, but you don't need an ice cream maker. Its painfully easy, just a little whipping, mixing, folding and in about 10 minutes, you're done. One note: It contains raw eggs.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 ounces dark chocolate (60-70%)
3 tablespoons superfine sugar
2 eggs, separated (room temperature)
8 ounces cream

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments and stir well until melted. Set aside.
  • Whip the egg whites in a medium size bowl, until medium-stiff peaks. Whip the cream to soft peaks in another medium sized bowl.
  • Whip together the sugar and egg yolks in a large bowl, until pale. Scrape the chocolate into the bowl, and whip for several minutes until the mixture is very thick and smooth.
  • Fold in the egg whites and then the cream.
  • Scrape the mixture into a cake pan, loaf pan or individual molds and freeze for at least 4 hours.
  • To unmold onto a plate, dip the bottom of the mold into hot water and then run a knife around the sides. It should pop out easily.
  • Let sit at room temperature (after unmolding) for 15-20 minutes to soften before serving.
  • Note 1: If the yolks and chocolate seizes up on you, gently warm it in a bowl over simmering water and then add a bit of the whites and beat the heck out of it.
  • Note 2: You can use crushed cookies on the bottom for a crust or leave it plain.
