Semifreddo

Semifreddo (Italian: [ˌsemiˈfreddo]; lit. 'half-cold' or 'half-frozen') is a class of frozen desserts similar to ice cream. The main ingredients are egg yolks, sugar, and cream. It has the texture of frozen mousse or cake. Semifreddo was created during the 19th century, but did not gain popularity until the early 20th century.

Parfait differs in that the Italian meringue is missing, which is replaced with pâte à bombe.

Biscotto ghiacciato instead contains Italian meringue, semi-whipped cream and fruit purée.
