Semifreddo (literally,“half frozen”) does the same job as ice-cream,but is a fair bit easier to make – no ice-cream maker required.

Ingredients

  • 300ml thickened cream

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup sugar

  • ½ cup honey,plus extra to drizzle

  • 4 large eggs

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

Method

  1. Step1

    Whip cream and vanilla together in a bowl until soft peaks form. Refrigerate.

  2. Step2

    Place the sugar,honey and ¼ cup of water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 2 minutes until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk the eggs in a stand mixer until foamy,reduce the speed and slowly pour in the honey syrup,then increase the speed again and whip for about 5 minutes to form a light sabayon. Fold the cream into the sabayon and transfer to a loaf tin lined with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours until completely set. Turn out the semifreddo,scatter with the walnuts and drizzle with extra honey to serve.

Adam’s tip: Frozen berries are a great addition to a semifreddo like this. Raspberries,blueberries and strawberries all work well with honey,so just add them to the mix before freezing.
