How to Make Chocolate Hazelnut Semifreddo

  1. Line an 8x4 inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on all sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 cup of hazelnut spread with 8 ounces of melted and slightly cooled semi-sweet chocolate until smooth.
  3. In a large, chilled bowl, beat 2 cups of cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
  4. Add a large spoonful (about 1/4 cup) of the whipped cream to the chocolate mixture and gently fold to lighten the mixture.
  5. Gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the cream.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Freeze for 1 hour.
  8. Remove from the freezer, cover the top with plastic wrap, and freeze overnight, or until firm.
  9. To serve: Remove the plastic wrap. Invert the semifreddo onto a serving platter. Carefully peel off the remaining plastic wrap.
  10. Let the semifreddo stand at room temperature for a few minutes to slightly soften.
  11. Cut into 1-inch thick slices and arrange on plates.
  12. Drizzle each serving with 1 tablespoon of chocolate sauce and garnish with fresh strawberries.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
