Semifreddo (pronounced [semiˈfredːo] Italian: half cold) is a class of semi-frozen desserts typically ice-cream cakes semi-frozen custards and certain fruit tarts. It has the texture of frozen mousse because it is usually produced by uniting two equal parts of ice cream and whipped cream. Such a dessert’s Spanish counterpart is called semifrío.[citation needed] In Italian cuisine the semifreddo is commonly made with gelato as a primary ingredient.
