Chocolate Semifreddo

Difficulty:
1/5

Ingredients:

  • 3 egg whites
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) sugar
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) honey
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) chocolate chips, melted

Method:

An hour before starting the recipe, place a metal mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the fridge.

Place the egg whites in a glass bowl along with the sugar and honey, over a pot of boiling water. Continuously stir until the sugar completely dissolves, then remove the mixture from the heat and set it aside for about 10 minutes to cool slightly.

Remove the mixing bowl from the fridge and add the egg white mixture to it. Whip the mixture on high until the meringue forms and becomes smooth and glossy. Set aside.

Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler.

In another large mixing bowl, use a spatula to fold 1/3 of the meringue mixture into 1/3 of the whipped cream, then repeat with the remaining meringue and cream until combined. Add the chocolate and gently fold it all together until combined.

Pour the chocolate mixture into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Smooth out the top with a spatula then place the mixture into the freezer for 5-6 hours.
