FAQ (Questions and Answers) COLD CAKES and SEMIFREDDI
What is the difference between a cold cake and a semifreddo?
A cold cake is a dessert that does not require baking and is chilled in the refrigerator. It usually consists of a crunchy base, like crumbled cookies and butter, and a creamy layer made of cheese, cream, or yogurt. The semifreddo, on the other hand, is a spoon dessert that combines whipped cream with a cream base of eggs, sugar, and other flavors, and is chilled in the freezer to achieve a soft and velvety texture that melts in the mouth.
Can I make cold cakes and semifreddi in advance?
Yes, cold cakes and semifreddi can be made in advance, which makes them very convenient for events and special occasions. They can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer, depending on the recipe, and taken out just before serving. This saves time and ensures that the dessert is well chilled and ready to be enjoyed.
How can I decorate a cold cake or a semifreddo?
Decorations can vary depending on the type of dessert and personal taste. Some ideas include: Fresh fruit or berries, grated chocolate, chocolate shavings or chocolate ganache, chopped nuts, grated coconut or hazelnut crumbs, edible flowers for an elegant touch, whipped cream spray or dollops of cream, fruit jelly for a shiny and attractive look.
