Chocolate and Coconut Semifreddo
The warm season has arrived, and we are looking for fresh and as effortless as possible things to prepare. I recommend this semifreddo that you can prepare well in advance and store in the freezer until needed! It is perfect as a dessert at the end of a meal or as an afternoon snack!
