Semifreddo (pronounced [ˌsemiˈfreddo], Italian: half cold) is a class of semi-frozen desserts. The main ingredients are egg yolks, sugar, and cream. It has the texture of frozen mousse. Such a dessert's Spanish counterpart is called semifrío.[1][2] It is often called an ice-cream cake, but a true ice-cream cake has layers of cake and ice-cream.[citation needed] It was created around the 19th century. However, it did not gain popularity until the early 20th century.[3]
