Hi Bold Bakers! Do you know what makes Lemon Semifreddo so incredible? Yes, homemade lemon semifreddo has an intensely lemon flavor, it’s creamy, it’s light, it’s super refreshing for a sunny spring dessert. But, personally, I think the best part is, this seemingly sophisticated dessert is SO EASY to make!! Already have an account? Seriously, if you follow this recipe, it is foolproof. Another bonus is this lemon semifreddo uses very few ingredients, likely things you already have in your cupboard and fridge! As the weather starts to warm up, you can’t go wrong with a soft, cold, lemony dessert. After this, make sure you try my other semifreddo dessert, Rich & Creamy Tiramisu Semifreddo.
What Is Lemon Semifreddo?
Semifreddo is an Italian dessert that translates to “half cold.” And if the shoe fits, wear it, right? The dessert is literally half-frozen! Don’t get semifreddo confused with ice cream, though! They are similar but different. Ice cream is typically frozen first then air is introduced to it. Semifreddo, however, the air is introduced first, then it is frozen. This makes it feel like it is half frozen!

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips For Making Lemon Semifreddo
Make sure your curd is completely cooled before folding it into the whipped cream; otherwise, you could melt and deflate the cream. Make this recipe a berry-lemon semifreddo by gently stirring in 1 cup of fresh berries of your choice after mixing the curd and cream. For some added texture, make my graham cracker cookie crust and press it into the loaf pan before you pour in the semifreddo mixture. Semifreddo can be sliced or scooped, whichever you prefer. Try serving this with my homemade ice cream cones! You can pour the semifreddo into individual ramekins before serving for elegant, individual servings. For something different, try this with a drizzle of my homemade salted caramel sauce!
