Semifreddo
Semifreddo (Italian for 'half-cold'; pronounced [ˌsemiˈfreddo]) is a class of frozen desserts similar to ice cream.[1] The main ingredients are egg yolks, sugar, and cream. It has the texture of frozen mousse or cake. The dessert's Spanish counterpart is called semifrío.[2][3] It was created during the 19th century, but did not gain popularity until the early 20th century.[4]

The biscotto ghiacciato instead contains Italian meringue, semi-whipped cream and fruit puree.[6]
