ABOUT Lemon and Chocolate Semifreddo RECIPE

Semifreddo is a class of semi-frozen desserts.This recipe is adapted from Rachel Allens recipe and is the ideal summer treat – smooth and silky ice cream with delicious bits of dark chocolate and crunchy almonds. Lemon with chocolate is a strange combo but it works well in this recipe as there is just a hint of lemon which makes it taste fresher.
