Semifreddo (pronounced [ˌsemiˈfreddo], Italian: half cold) is a class of semi-frozen desserts. The principle ingredients are usually eggs, sugar and cream. It has the texture of frozen mousse. Such a dessert's Spanish counterpart is called semifrío.[1][2] In Italian cuisine, the semifreddo is commonly made with gelato as a primary ingredient. It is often called an ice-cream cake, but a true ice-cream cake has layers of cake & ice-cream.
