Hi, I'm Chef Mercedes. I'm a graduate of the French Culinary Institute/International Culinary Center's classic pastry arts program. Currently I do not work in the food industry so I use this blog to share my love of eating and passion for baking with the world. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to share about baking and that I’ll inspire you to bake as well.

White Chocolate Hazelnut Semifreddo
This was delicious, but not quite as nice as the mendiant. That's really only because I prefer milk chocolate to white chocolate. Semifreddo means partly frozen in Italian. Just like the mendiant or the parfait, it's a frozen dessert that isn't frozen solid because of all the air whipped into it, not to mention the fat and sugar. Anyway, we served this with drizzled with dark chocolate (which sets up when it comes in contact with the frozen semifreddo), set on top of a piece of hazelnut cake, sitting on a long curved piece of chocolate, with chocolate sauce, raspberry coulis, raspberry compote, and raspberry cream (raspberry flavored whipped cream) filled with chocolate sauce. It was not easy to make the filled raspberry cream scoops. They were worth it though...raspberry cream with a chocolate surprise inside!
