Can semifreddo be used in fried ice cream recipe?
As the title says, can I use semifreddo instead of ice cream in a fried ice cream recipe?
Best Answer
Well, yes and no. A lot of recipes for semifreddo aren't truly semifreddo because they are hard frozen. Recipes like that can be fried just like ice cream. The key to fried ice cream is to hard freeze the scoops of ice cream. By definition, that isn't semifreddo, but definitions don't seem to matter much to writers of recipes. So, if the "stuff" is hard frozen, it can be coated and fried like fried ice cream. Perhaps after being deep fried, the name "semifreddo" is more apropos.

What is the difference between a semifreddo and ice cream?
Semifreddo is light in texture; basically a frozen mousse with mix-ins for flavor. It has more air incorporated in the mixture, giving it the lighter feel. Ice cream is denser in texture: it has a higher fat content and lower air content, plus it is churned over time to create the characteristic creamy texture.Is semifreddo churned like ice cream?
Semifreddo is an Italian word meaning \u201chalf cold\u201d or \u201chalf-frozen.\u201d It refers to a class of frozen desserts similar to ice cream but instead made with whipped cream by churning air into the mixture while it freezes. Semifreddos are very similar to mousses and are often served in the form of ice cream cakes or tarts.What is the texture of semifreddo?
Meaning \u201chalf cold\u201d in Italian, semifreddo maintains a soft, velvety texture, even right out of the freezer. Because it contains so much sugar and air, it will never freeze into a hard, dense block the way ice cream does.How is fried ice cream possible?
The dessert is commonly made by taking a scoop of ice cream frozen well below the temperature at which ice cream is generally kept, possibly coating it in raw egg, rolling it in cornflakes or cookie crumbs, and briefly deep frying it.Fried Ice Cream Recipe | Quick Dessert | How to make icecream | FRIED ICECREAM
