How to Make Elegant Chocolate Semifreddo

[@johnscanlan9335]

I'm having an old friend over for dinner in July and I think this is the perfect summer dinner party dessert. I'll definitely be making this!

[@johnscanlan9335]

OK I made a test version of it completely following the instructions and it came out perfect and really delicious! I did though use a silicon loaf pan, instead of the metal one. I was able to pull out the Semifreddo with zero resistance from the pan!

[@connief936]

YUM! Saving this for next birthday celebration

[@LaJazel]

I absolutely love American Test kitchen ❤❤❤ I've been watching for year's since it was on PBS 🥰 I love that it's on KZbin just at the tip of my hand 👌🏻👌🏻🤤

[@stonee1968]

Semifreddo was the recipe that brought me into Cooks Illustrated back in the 90s. Glad to see it make a come back on video!

[@nathanguillemette9955]

I love this recipe.

[@hoboqueen4453]

I've made this a couple times, and have to say it's one of the best desserts I ever ate.

[@susielm7512]

Delicious, very practical for any nice occassion, thkd🥰

[@geekogen]

This is a 100% complimentary comment... Julia's hairdo isn't one I think I would normally like, but it somehow fits her face and her wonderful, joyous personality.

[@tosht2515]

🍒🍫 Classic combination indeed - chocolate covered cherries; Black Forest cake; Cherry Garcia; cherry chocolate stout. Chocolate semifreddo with cherry sauce would be right up my alley. 👍

[@user-uz5te9qc7t]

Wow, just made this delightful dessert. Yum!!! Loved it!

[@Bill_N_ATX]

Looks great. What’s a whole freddo like?

[@jamesec1949]

Very nice Bridget. Oh, and also the semifreddo!

[@Passionforfoodrecipes]

Oh man, that looks so good! I have this feeling like I might be *PUDDING* on a little weight this week 😂

[@tennmcclain]

That looks amazing! Can't wait to try it😊

[@theresamonroe6719]

Love the recipe.

[@shifrabaila4074]

I clicked on the link to download the recipe, but I have to inform you that, although the link brings you to a receipt for what is listed as Semifredo, the receipe is not the same as the receipt that is demonstrated here. For example, the ingredients listed in the link are: "4 teaspoons salt, 2 chocolate bar biscuit croissant topping, 1 jelly cotton candy, ½ jelly gummies, 2 cups liquorice chocolate, 2 jelly beans bonbon, 2 caramels tart gummi bears, 6 butterscotch caramel lollipops, 12 tbsp butter, ¼ cup sugar". With regard to the "instructions, the first sentence reads as follows: "Cupcake ipsum dolor sit amet chocolate bar halvah carrot cake donut. Caramels chocolate bar donut cookie. Halvah apple pie apple pie brownie donut cheesecake". I checked this link several times and every time this is what I found. I copied this from your link and did not change a word. Perhaps you could check out the link.

[@saukitchenuk7809]

I'm all time desserts lover, this is so different & so yummmy, love it.

[@janedoe805]

I already knew how to make “Semifreddo” but I love watching you two together! “Cherry Juice better-wise known as a shirt killer”. 😂 As much as l love Chocolate, l prefer a Raspberry & Pistachio Semifreddo.

[@unknownfancy]

How how do you make that raspberry and pistachoo semifreddo because that sounds amazinggg-

[@MaxStax1]

Bridget! ❤️

[@hollym5873]

Love these recipes. Thanks

[@pammckanna4778]

Thanks! That was so fun!

[@FrugalOverFifty]

I made the excellent choice to watch this while I'm on a no-sugar month. Very proud of myself. 😂 This looks delicious - and much simpler than I would have imagined.

[@lowellmorton1708]

I've been following a sugar free diet for three years. I'm always trying to make a sugar free version of their recipes. Try using a sugar substitute (I like Allulose because it doesn't have an aftertaste and It reacts like sugar), making any adjustments for the difference in sweetness. Also, I would use an alternative for the thickener for the cherries (I like Glucomannan, about 1/2 tsp. that you can add without any more liquid - it won't lump like cornstarch.)

[@FroppyVA]

This looks better than ice cream

[@nremtsean]

Absolutely love these two!!! They are my favorites!!!

[@katelily7619]

Anyone else here who never heard of semifreddo? No? Just me?

[@tonybilodeau6364]

Not just you. I think they named it after a character from "The Godfather" so we'd watch.

[@Jolly_Green23]

First I've heard of it.

[@shannoncheshier3239]

Is the only way to get a copy of this recipe to pay for access to the site?

[@SuperQuarterNote]

I like how its made in 2020, but it looks straight out of 1990

[@WouldUMind4321]

All of her videos LOL. The walking in when the camera starts filming, the pretending to be surprised at everything. She does the same on everything lol

[@breakinglost3740]

This must be the most unnecessarily complex semifreddo recipe I've ever seen

[@ambrosejoseph4843]

Hi, looks amazing!!!

[@gitaanne6864]

I keep thinking...Breyers Viennetta...😂

[@rudeboymon3177]

Where has this been all my life😮

[@kathleenchisholm4672]

girls.......that was AMESOME!

[@Soxruleyanksdrool]

They said this semifreddo won't melt fast like a cremon glaze would. I've never heard of that. Is a cremon glaze simular to ice cream?

[@annchovy6]

I think you mean crème anglaise, which is a classic custard sauce and the base of custard ice creams.

[@gergk5]

2:05 That would have made Chef Jean-Pierre very uncomfortable.😢

[@elnino4445]

Cutiepies

[@chasematthewbenefiel7382]

Where do you get all-clad pans with the matted exterior?

[@catmom1322]

Great job on teaching us how to make this! In order to copy the recipe on your website, we have to log in for a free trial. No thanks. I do not want to have to pay for a recipe.

[@givenscommunications6307]

It's Puffy, It's Airy and It's Luxurious! I used to like custards but not anymore. Too Rich! I'll have to pass on this one.

[@seesterran3822]

I thought at first that the title said Eggplant Chocolate Semifreddo.

[@lowellmorton1708]

I subscribe to your channel and love the content. It irritates me that when I follow the link to get the recipe, I'm asked to join. I was a member, but didn't visit the site enough to warrant the monthly renewal. I refuse to rejoin. If you're making the recipe, at least make the recipe in printed form available.

[@JohannnesBrahms]

I agree. If you are offering the recipe of a video presentation, it should be available without having to start a subscription. Or you should state that you have to subscribe to the website in order to get the recipe. Deceptive practice!

[@cascooter]

Raspberry sauce....SPLOOSH

[@JeremyForTheWin]

I'm thinking maybe amaretto instead of kirsch... cherry+almond+chocolate mmm

[@xtraterrestrial6541]

These women are even worse than Randy from South Park from 11:11 onwards :D

[@anneb6025]

Adding coffee to chocolate makes a NEW FLAVOR. I've decided to call it MOCHA. If you're making a mocha dessert that's fine. But don't call it chocolate. And yes, I can test the coffee.

[@jitagan]

You showed them.

[@seesterran3822]

As a coffee hater, there’s no better way to ruin chocolate than to defile it with coffee.

[@josephineroe8424]

How do you test coffee?

[@vitamindevil-g3250]

🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@josephineroe8424]

You betrayed me, Semifreddo.

[@Damarlo36]

Thought this said elephant chocolate semifreddo and i clicked so fast......

[@man_of_many_pants]

I've never seen one come off so easily before. Do I need to say anything else?

[@mariacascais3622]

would like recipe in written form, but do not want to subscribe to any offer. Not a great idea for such renown chefs.

[@saukitchenuk7809]

1st yeahhhh

[@wallyj2000]

Every time does Channel says something is easy it's never easy and takes a really long time and many many steps I think they should get rid of the word easy

[@janedoe805]

Walter Walter, compared to making Chocolate Gelato and not having to use an Ice Cream Machine... This is easy. I used to make Wedding Cakes for a living, that’s not easy. But then again, l loved my work. Life is only as hard or easy as one makes it. 😉 I hope you’re blessed and your life is a happy one. ☺️

[@Jolly_Green23]

Easier than ice cream..

[@matteodonadoni9334]

Real semifreddo is made with Italian merengue and pâté a bomb, this is a frozen chocolate mousse

[@josephineroe8424]

That's not how I've seen Semifreddo made. Marcella Hazan made a very simple version. I think there were only four ingredients.

[@harvestfarms]

Fake chefs so cute......

[@dyrcosis]

As far as I'm concerned you've completely ruined the chocolate by adding any amount of coffee. Gross.

[@jspicecue1463]

What u crazy

[@aaronli8843]

Actually, instant coffee is one of the more common flavor boosters along with salt for chocolate. It doesn't taste like coffee, it just tastes more chocolatey!

[@sobored8786]

Try it I just boosts the chocolatte flavor

[@dyrcosis]

@@sobored8786 I have tried it. Several times, in fact. However, I cannot stand the taste of coffee and there is always an unpleasant aftertaste when coffee is mixed with chocolate. So I stand by my original statement.

[@sobored8786]

@@dyrcosis everyine has different taste buds use what you like

[@kblazindetailing9846]

now how you give make chocolate but don't have any chocolate chefs 🙈 let me guess yall are colorblind how about to get the real cooks in there

[@kareninalabama]

They do have Elle Simone, who I love, but they don't feature her nearly enough, and I agree that they need MUCH more diversity. Chefs of color deserve more prominent representation worldwide. One of the (many) things I loved about singer Lizzo's Grammy performance is that her backing orchestra consisted entirely of black female musicians. Talk about a lack of representation!

[@josephineroe8424]

People are not chocolate or vanilla. It is illegal to hire or fire people because of their color or ethnicity. Maybe ATK doesn't want to deal with a discrimination lawsuit.

[@bjones9942]

For those of us who are lactose intolerant it would be nice to have a few desserts presented that are lactose free.

[@peshgirl]

I thought they did a granita recently? I've clearly misspelled that... Autocorrect isn't giving any helpful suggestions.

@@peshgirl Granita was right.
