Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the eggs and honey until well combined.
  • Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
  • Continue whisking the egg mixture over the simmering water until it becomes thick and pale yellow, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled egg mixture until well combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or another container and smooth out the surface.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • When ready to serve, remove the semifreddo from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
  • Slice and serve with your desired accompaniments.
