NOTES
1. Do I use the orange juice in the recipe?
No. You only use the zest and the orange halves. The juice is a bonus to drink or use elsewhere.
2. Can I make this without Licor 43?
Yes. The dessert will still be tasty with just orange, mascarpone and chocolate. Simply leave the liqueur out.
3. How long can I keep the semifreddo in the freezer?
It’s best within a few days. Keep it covered so it doesn’t pick up freezer flavors.
4. Can I make this in a dish instead of orange halves?
Yes. Spoon the mixture into a small freezer-safe dish, freeze and scoop into bowls to serve.
5. Variations
- No alcohol version: Skip the Licor 43 and add a bit more orange zest and juice for a kid-friendly version.
- Different chocolate: Use milk or white chocolate shavings if you prefer a sweeter topping.
- Extra crunch: Sprinkle some crushed cookies over the top before serving for texture (not in base recipe, so check for allergens).
6. Storage
- Freezer: Keep the filled orange halves covered in the freezer for up to 3 to 4 days.
- Serving: Take them from the freezer and let them sit a few minutes to soften slightly, then add chocolate and serve.
