    Cherry Semifreddo with an Orange Cherry Compote

    A close up of cherry semifreddo with orange cherry compote with a scoop taken out. I never really knew what the hell a semifreddo was until I started reading Donna Hay. Its pretty much one of the best things for summer. Essentially its ice cream without the pain in the ass part. No ice cream maker needed! Its one of those things where you should just let your schizophrenic taste buds go wild and come up with whatever flavor combinations you think might be awesome. Fresh fruit on the top always makes things more delicious and prettier. We used seasonal cherries for our Cherry Semifreddo with an Orange Cherry Compote. Great crazy with it! Go for it!
