Since summer hasn’t gone yet and the days are still warm, today we’re proposing a refreshing dessert. A spicy semifreddo, composed of two distinct layers connected to each other by the intense flavour of coffee 🙂 .
The first layer is a cream made of fresh ricotta cheese and greek yogurt, delicately spiced with vanilla that enhances the taste of coffee. The second layer is a jelly flavoured with cardamom which recalls the traditional Syrian coffee.
If you try one of the recipes on the blog, take a photo and publish it on Instragam with the hashtag #fratelliaifornelli and tagging our profile @fratelliaifornelli.
