HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on all sides. This will make it easier to remove the semifreddo later.

02

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cold heavy cream, honey, powdered sugar, and orange blossom water. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.

03

Gently fold in 1/4 cup of the chopped pistachios into the whipped cream mixture.

04

Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

05

Cover the pan with the overhanging plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

06

To serve, remove the semifreddo from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Use the plastic wrap overhang to lift it out of the pan.

07

Slice the semifreddo into individual portions and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped pistachios before serving.

Chef's Tips

For an extra touch of elegance, drizzle a little extra honey over each slice just before serving. You can also add a pinch of ground cardamom to the cream mixture for a warmer spice note.

Easy Substitutions

Almonds or walnuts can be used instead of pistachios. If you don't have orange blossom water, a teaspoon of vanilla extract or lemon zest can provide a different but equally delicious flavor.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover semifreddo tightly wrapped in plastic wrap in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. For best texture, allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
