250g dark chocolate, chopped

Instructions

To make the chocolate semifreddo, start by melting the dark chocolate in a bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water. Make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water and stir the chocolate occasionally until it’s completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar together until pale and creamy. Add the cooled melted chocolate and mix until combined. Then add the vanilla extract and stir until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the tablespoon of water and continue to whisk until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, combining until no streaks remain.

Pour the semifreddo mixture into a shallow container lined with baking paper. Place in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. Once frozen, turn the semifreddo out onto a plate and slice into wedges. Serve immediately.
