I rarely make desserts. This one makes up for the small number of dessert recipes I will post by being super indulgent!
My recipe below has been created to participate in the Sweet Adventures-Death by Chocolate blog-hop hosted by The Hungry Australian. If you are a chocolate lover, ensure that you visit after reading this to see some other amazing desserts.
Participating in a blog-hop means there are some rules to follow. I have my own set of rules for making desserts and I have followed them for this recipe.
These are my rules for desserts:
Here is my recipe, divided into the stages of preparation:
Total Preparation Time: 1 hour plus overnight freezing
Serves: 8
*You will need to make the Semifreddo a day ahead
[…] of the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop. I had so much fun participating in the last blog hop, making my Double Chocolate Semifreddo, and I discovered a fabulous array of amazing food blogs that I couldn’t resist participating […]
[…] I have used the recipe from my Double Chocolate Semifreddo with Banana, Pecan and Chocolate Sauce […]
Yum, Looks delicious. I’ve never tried Semifreddo but it certainly looks impressive.
Hi Michelle, I hope that you get to give it a try one day.The recipe is easy so give it a go. Everyone should aim to sample as many chocolate related foods as possible 😀
Lordy, now that is death by chocolate. Come to mamma!
Hi Lizzy, thanks for visiting my little blog 🙂
Mmm I love semifreddo. It’s like a cross between cake and icecream and it doesn’t get much better than that!
Thanks for visiting Claire.
Kyrstie, I love the idea of double chocolate semifreddo. I’ve made straight chocolate before but next time I’m going to add more chocolate! Thanks for the great idea!
My motto since baby number 2 is sneak in as much chocolate as possible 🙂
Your semifreddo looks amazing!!!! I love that chocolate sauce oozing over the top.
Thanks Jennifer, that is a big compliment for me – coming from you!! Pity I couldn’t gobble it up – I love chocolate but I can’t eat cream or milk so I watched our visitors devour it all last night 🙂
For someone that doesnt make desserts , you’ve done a great job. Simple and delicious. … and nice to meet you.
Thanks so much Tania, that is really lovely feedback. I have enjoyed discovering your blog. I will certainly re-visit.
Love the rules you have set for desserts. I like the idea of two hits of chocolate, deathly in such a good way 🙂
Thanks Julie, I had to give myself some guidelines. I find it easy to get “carried away” when I do make a dessert 🙂
I totally love semifreddos and yours looks lovely! Who doesn’t love bananas with chocolate? 😀
Thanks Monica, banana and chocolate is under-rated, it is totally delicious. Thanks for visiting. K
It’s such a challenge cooking with little people around! I think I’m getting better at it though. Your Semifreddo sounds delicious.
Thanks for joining us – looks delicious!
Thanks JJ it has been fun
OMG! This looks amazing!
Thanks for visiting Jennifer
Looks great! I love all the different components, and particularly like your rule number 2 as I seem to be more and more time poor these days. In fact, I think all your rules for dessert are very sensible 🙂
Thank you Katie
Love the combination of chocolate and banana – it’s Mr Hungry Australian’s favourite combination ever, actually. So glad you joined this bloghop!
Thanks Christina, I am thrilled to be a part of the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop.
Love your rules for dessert…I think my life would simplify a LOT if I followed them! Your semifreddo looks fabulous…what a beautiful presentation! Brava!
Thanks so much Liz, I really appreciate your comments.
Mmm, not just chocolate but DOUBLE chocolate? YOu’ve got my attention! 😉 And I agree with your rules, I’m not much of a home cook myself even, so recipes should be near idiot proof! Hehe 🙂
Sounds like a real mouthful but looks absolutely awesome! There again I love anything with chocolate though.
I love frozen desserts and toffee, Yum!
