Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ½ cup almonds
  • ½ cup dried fruit (e.g., apricots, cherries)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toast the 0.5 cup almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Let cool, then chop roughly.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whip the 2 cups heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Gently fold the 0.75 cup sweetened condensed milk, 2 tbsp honey, chopped almonds, and 0.5 cup dried fruit into the whipped cream until just combined.

  4. 4

    Pour the mixture into a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap. Smooth the top and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.

  5. 5

    To serve, let the semifreddo sit at room temperature for 5 minutes, then slice and enjoy.
