Chocolate Semifredo


Cannela of Zucheriera, asked me if I would like to participate in the week of the ice cream. I thought that with this cold it would not be able to do, going by the gelateria I had some people to take ice cream. And then I remembered the spumoni post of Jenn. Whatever, ice cream is not only for the summer, mainly if it is caloric like as chocolate or zambaione . I made this

Chocolate Semifredo

1 Cup (tea) sugar

1/2 cup (tea) water

180 G of chopped bitter sweet chocolate

8 big yolks

400 Ml of cream of fresh milk

¼ Cup (tea) cocoa liquor

100 G of chopped nuts

In a saucepan, put 1/2 cup of sugar and ½ cup of water. Cook in medium heat, always mixing, until boil. Stopped mixing and allow boil during approximately 2 minutes. Retire of the heat. Add the chopped chocolate dive until melts completely. Join at last the yolks. Return to the fire in bain - marie and cook, mixing vigorously until this with consistency of cream Retires of the heat and takes to the blender in medium speed until cooled. Add the cocoa liquor and 100 g of chopped nuts. In another blender jar, put 400 ml of cream of fresh milk with and ½ cup of sugar until it forms Chantilly .Mix the two creams and take to the freezer

What beautiful ice cream. It reminds me of the ice cream we could get when I lived in the Dominican Republic. It was clear that it was made by real people, but a machine. I remember the chocolate chip had chunck of candy bars in it and a strong vanilla scene.

This really takes me back.

Susan said...

This is beautiful and soooo rich with 8 egg yolks! Lovely photos. How did you make the lace decorations? Did you melt white chocolate and drizzle it on waxed paper to let it cool? Very pretty.

Sylvia said...

Yes Susan, is very rich, but I normally made a half of the recipe. And I melted white chocolate, but in this time I draw on acetate, because gives more shine to the chocolate than waxed paper.

How amazing. I love the (white chocolate?) addition you made there. What exactly is the definition of a semifredo? I'm fairly new to this industry and have heard that many a time, but don't know what the true definition is. Thanks!

What a luscious dessert, Sylvia!

Sylvia said...

Andrea is so easy ,you must try someday.

Hillary,semifredd in Italian means non frozen, only almost frozen,and is true is an almost ice cream. If you try I'm sure you love them.

Patricia Thanks a lot
