Strawberries and Cream Semifreddo

This was a huge hit. My husband loved it because it is not too sweet. My daughter said "This is better than Scooter's Frozen Custard"-- and if you live in Chicago, you know that this is truly high praise. I loved it because it was easy and really showcased the flavors of the strawberries, plus I could make it in advance. I did have a little difficulty getting it out of the loaf pan-- my daughter went out to the table and announced: "It will be a little while, Mommy is having technical difficulties." After a quick dip of the loaf pan in a bowl of warm water, the technical difficulties were resolved and dessert was saved!

I agree this has to have many more fruit options, but watch the liquid...more later Posted: 10:00 pm on May 23rd
