Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.

  2. 2

    Cook the Peaches

    In a medium saucepan, combine diced peaches and honey. Cook over medium heat until the peaches are soft and syrupy, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Dissolve the Gelatin

    Once the peach mixture has cooled, stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool completely.

  4. 4

    Whip the Cream

    In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Once the peach and gelatin mixture has cooled, gently fold it into the whipped cream mixture until well combined.

  6. 6

    Chill the Semifreddo

    Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or individual serving cups. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

  7. 7

    Serve

    To serve, remove the semifreddo from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before slicing or scooping. Enjoy!
