Classic Frozen Desserts

Semifreddo An Italian frozen dessert, similar to ice cream but with a high cream or sugar content that prevents hard freezing, thus creating the illusion that it is less cold than ice cream. The name of the dessert in Italian means “half cold”.

Spumoni A molded dessert with an outer layer of ice cream and interior of semifreddo. It resembles a bombe, but is not made in a hemispherical mold.

Cassata The typical Italian version of bombe; a mixture of Italian meringue, whipped cream and candied fruit, surrounded by layers of ice cream.
