Coffee & Irish cream semifreddo wreath

Method

• step 1

  Put the egg yolks, coffee and sugar in a large bowl and beat using an electric whisk until thick and fluffy.

• step 2

  Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl using an electric whisk with clean beaters until light and frothy. Add the beaten whites to the yolk mix, and whisk briefly to combine.

• step 3

  Pour the double cream and liqueur into a bowl, and whisk to soft peaks. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the whipped cream, folding in with a large metal spoon until everything is evenly combined.

• step 4

  Oil a 2-litre bundt tin and pour in the semifreddo mixture, then tap on a surface so it’s evenly filled. Freeze overnight, or for up to a month.

• step 5

  To serve, dip the tin in a bowl of hot water for 20 seconds to loosen. Turn the semifreddo out onto a plate and remove the tin.

• step 6

  Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the semifreddo, letting it drip down the sides. Leave to defrost for 5 mins, slice and serve. Layer leftovers between pieces of baking parchment and freeze in an airtight container for up to a week.
