Cherry White Chocolate SemiFreddo

Semifreddo is italian for half cold, and this is an amazing easy dessert that goes well with a lovely pasta, and an ice cream maker is not needed. It’s a magical little dessert you can make on the day and not have to worry about until serving – takes about 10 minutes to put it together and then the freezer does the rest for 4 hours!
