How to Make Dark Chocolate Semifreddo

  1. Melt 6 ounces of dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring well until completely smooth and melted.
  2. Set the melted chocolate aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. In another medium bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 3 large egg yolks until pale and thick.
  6. Gently scrape the cooled melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture. Beat with an electric mixer for several minutes until the mixture is very thick and glossy.
  7. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites, then the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  8. Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish, loaf pan, or individual ramekins.
  9. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
  10. To unmold, run the bottom of the mold under warm water for a few seconds and run a thin knife or offset spatula around the edges.
  11. Let the semifreddo sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly.
