Instructions
 

  • For Semifreddo: Whip the cream with vanilla extract untill thickened, stop before stiff peaks. Reserve for later.
  • Mix yolks, egg and honey. Place it on a double boiler and beat with electric blender until pale yellow and becomes a thick cream like texture. Strain it to remove any solid particles in it.
  • Let it cool. Then fold in to the whipped cream in two parts. Brush a loaf pan with oil and Cling wrap it to get the semifreddo out easily. Pour the cream in the pan and set it in freezer for 8 hrs.
  • Honeycomb crumbs: In a heavy bottom pan, place sugar and honey. Give it a mix and let the sugar melt and start to brown. Now look for a golden brown colour. Remove from stove top and add soda salt.
  • Pour it on a lined tray. Let it cool and break it into pieces and reserve.
  • Spicy Citrus Sauce: In a heavy bottom pan, melt butter. Mix in honey, chilli, cinnamon, 3 orange rind, juice of the orange and half lemon. Bring to boil add apple slices and almonds. Let the apple cook until it is fully glazed with the sauce.
  • Remove apples and nuts. Add 1/2 glass of water to the sauce. Let it boil and thicken. The best part is plating. Slice a semifreddo, put it in centre. Line the honeycomb crumbs,apple,nuts. Sauce as dots, rind on top of Semifreddo.

Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For extra textural contrast, fold in finely chopped toasted pistachios or salted almonds into the semifreddo mixture just before pouring it into the mold.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick in your citrus sauce, infuse the sauce with a split fresh chili or add a pinch of cayenne pepper while simmering, then strain before serving for a smooth finish.
  • To achieve clean, elegant slices when serving the semifreddo, dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe it dry between cuts—this helps maintain the delicate texture without dragging or crumbling.
  • Leftover semifreddo can be stored tightly wrapped in the freezer for up to a week; just let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to regain its creamy, sliceable consistency.
