Sarah’s Story:

I first had semifreddo at a little beach café while on vacation, and I was hooked. It tasted like ice cream and mousse had a baby — light, fluffy, but still creamy. When I got home, I started experimenting with key lime juice and Greek yogurt to keep it a bit lighter. Now this is our go-to frozen treat for dinner parties or those summer nights when we want something a little fancy but fuss-free.

🥄 Key Lime Semifreddo Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat for creaminess)

• 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream (chilled)

• ½ cup key lime juice (fresh or bottled)

• 1 tbsp key lime zest

• ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of sea salt

• Optional: crushed graham crackers or almond cookies for serving

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Whip the cream:
   In a mixing bowl, whip the chilled cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.

2. Mix the base:
   In another bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, key lime juice, zest, honey, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

3. Fold it all together:
   Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture until fully combined and fluffy.

4. Freeze:
   Pour into a loaf pan lined with parchment. Smooth the top and freeze for 4–6 hours or until firm.

5. Serve:
   Let sit for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve with crushed grahams or a dollop of whipped cream.

💡 Tips:

• No key limes? Regular lime juice works too!

• Make it dairy-free with coconut cream and coconut yogurt.

• Slice thinly — it’s rich and goes a long way!
