Method

  • step 1

    Put the egg yolks, coffee and sugar in a large bowl and beat using an electric whisk until thick and fluffy.

  • step 2

    Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl using an electric whisk with clean beaters until light and frothy. Add the beaten whites to the yolk mix, and whisk briefly to combine.

  • step 3

    Pour the double cream and liqueur into a bowl, and whisk to soft peaks. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the whipped cream, folding in with a large metal spoon until everything is evenly combined.

  • step 4

    Oil a 2-litre bundt tin and pour in the semifreddo mixture, then tap on a surface so it’s evenly filled. Freeze overnight, or for up to a month.

  • step 5

    To serve, dip the tin in a bowl of hot water for 20 seconds to loosen. Turn the semifreddo out onto a plate and remove the tin.

  • step 6

    Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the semifreddo, letting it drip down the sides. Leave to defrost for 5 mins, slice and serve. Layer leftovers between pieces of baking parchment and freeze in an airtight container for up to a week.

Recipe tip

Put your serving plate in the freezer 10 mins before turning out the dessert – this will prevent the semifreddo from melting too quickly on it.

Omg, this is such a great recipe though I halved the coffee content! Made lots - I did a loaf tin for Christmas lunch and 3/4 takeaway tubs full as well. Beautiful texture with no beating. Will definitely make again.

Apologies for the one star rating - pressed in error!

I assume the dessert will soften at room temperature. Would mixing-in 3 or 4 softened gelatine leaves prevent this?

question

20 seconds in hot water was not enough- what might I have done wrong?

For baking I dissolve coffee granules in cold water. They clump in boiled water
