Faux Semifreddo

If you've ever had semi-fredo, it's a frozen Italian dessert that typically uses whipped cream and many different combinations of fillings. My super easy version uses a container of non-dairy whipped topping. I use a good cocoa powder and frozen sweet, dark cherries in mine for a quick fix dessert that is perfect for any occasion. 

I keep So Delicious CocoWhip in my freezer at all times as it is my favorite non-dairy whipped topping with less sugar, no hydrogenated oil and is completely dairy free.

I also use it in my easy Key Lime Pie.

Faux Semifreddo

A 4 ingredient wonder made with Cocowhip, Cocoa powder, frozen cherries and pistachios
Serves 6
1 tub Cocowhip, thawed (this is a great dairy free and hydrogenated oil free whipped topping but you can use your tub of choice)
1 heaping Tablespoon cocoa powder (I actually use raw cacao)
1/2 c frozen dark cherries, chopped
2 T toasted pistachios, chopped (toasted pecans would also be great in this)
chocolate sauce, optional for garnish
mint leaves, optional for garnish


Mix Cocowhip and cocoa powder together gently with a whisk until well incorporated in a large mixing bowl.  Fold in chopped cherries and pistachios.  Pour into a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap.  Cover well and freeze at least 2 hours.


Unwrap and turn out onto a cutting board.  Cut slices and garnish as desired.
