Semifreddo is Italian for “half-cold.” It has traditionally been achieved by mixing cream with a meringue made from egg whites. The taste and texture of semifreddo has been compared to mousse, and it melts in the mouth quicker than ice cream. You can play around with the fruit or nuts you want to add. Have fun!
2 egg whites or 1/3 cup Haddar Egg Whites
1/3 cup Gefen Honey
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 and 1/2 cups non-dairy creamer
1/2 teaspoon Gefen Almond Extract
2 ounces (55 grams) 72% chocolate, cut into pieces
1/2 cup crushed, toasted nuts, such as hazelnuts, almonds, or pistachios
Beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
Combine honey, sugar, and water in a small but heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves and syrup is clear.
Raise heat and bring syrup to a boil. Boil without stirring for two minutes. Remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream with the almond extract until it reaches the consistency of sour cream.
Fold the cream and almonds into the meringue. Gently fold in remaining ingredients.
Place in a freezerproof container and then cover and freeze overnight.
Slowly and carefully beat the hot syrup into the egg whites, pouring in a thin stream. Continue beating until the meringue has cooled, about five minutes.

Recipe incomplete Dear Estee, or kosher.com editor,
Please read the directions given for this Passover semifreddo recipe. Something is wrong. I’m sure there are a few steps missing.
I’d like to make this dessert. Please complete and post!
Obviously (today is 2 Nissan, 5777) time is of the essence.
I hope you respond quickly!
PS I notice there’s a bug in your system. It doesn’t allow me to post this question without using one of the suggested tags which are downright strange. I chose the tag “graceful”. Please note: I am aware this tag makes no sense but I preferred it to other suggestions such as wrteched and tomatoes!
Thanks for your comment. I’ve completed the recipe directions. We’ll also look into the tagging issue. Thanks for the feedback and enjoy your semifreddo!
I just checked the tagging function. It does give you a suggested list but you may type your own tags in the field and disregard the suggestions.
I tried to type in my own “tag” and the program didn’t let it go through.
HI Kreindy.
Can you help me out a bit. What part of the recipe seems to be missing?
