Antje, that is from Germany, is an awesome cook in a mission to feed (and well) her big family. She has four little ones including the most gorgeous and well behaved toddler I met, Georgina :-)
The recipe was inspired by a Jamie Oliver recipe from Naked Chef that she "merged" with a Semifredo recipe found on Internet.
The Result is absolutely stunning don't you think?

Author: Antje Ecksturm-Rudd
Ingredients - 100g dark chocolate
- 200g sugar
- 150g almonds (slivers)
- 500g cream
- 4 large eggs
- 60g sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract

- Bubble the sugar with 2tbs water until golden, mix in nuts and spread onto line baking tray. Chill. When set, break into pieces and pulse in a food processor to desired size.
- Separate eggs. Beat egg whites into stiff peaks, cream into soft peaks.
- Whip egg yolks with the sugar until light and frothy.
- Fold in cream, vanilla, then egg whites.
- Now you can mix in all of the praline or reserve some of the praline for decoration and mix the remainder into 1/3 of the semifredo mixture.
- To assemble, line a container (loaf tin) with cling film. Spread some larger pieces of the praline on the bottom.
- Top with a sheet of chocolate.
- Pour 1/3 of the cream mixture over, add another layer of chocolate. Repeat, finishing with the praline and cream mixture.
- Cover with cling film and freeze at least 2 hours.
- To serve, turn out onto a plate or board, remove cling film and cut with a knife dipped in hot water.
