Banana and Chocolate Semifreddo 🍫
Summer isn’t over yet, so let’s take the opportunity to make fresh desserts that everyone loves! Since I have a friend who adores desserts, especially banana and chocolate ice cream, I wanted to make a semifreddo combining these two flavors, and I must say it turned out wonderfully!!! The banana in desserts is just perfect; in the past, I’ve made a banana cheesecake that was EXTRAORDINARY and I highly recommend it. I almost forgot….the Banana Liqueur wasn’t bad either 😁.

Banana cream preparation:

In the meantime, put the mascarpone and cream in a bowl and whip with electric beaters. Add the cooled banana mixture and blend.
