Semifreddo has got to be one of the most wonderful actual desserts I have tried yet in Italy. And the ones Dominga brought back from the pastisseria were much nicer looking than any photo I can find on the internet.
Semifreddo (or semifreddi in the plural) are small desserts mixed half between and cake and an icecream. The base of them is like a 1 cm of sponge cake, and then you've got the part on top of that which is made of icecream. They are so good!
The one's I tried were cut out in different shapes and in brighter colours: pink moon-shaped strawberry ones, rich chocolate heart-shaped ones and green pistachio circles. They came in little paper cases and were small enough you could easily have three different flavours and not feel like you'd been too greedy. And you could almost get an entire one in your mouth in one go. Although that might be stupid as it's a block of icecream and unless you're asking for brainfreeze...
Veramente delizioso!
