A nice fresh and quick dessert for these hot summer days ( at least here in Italy) and no need to use the oven!
At the beginning of the month I made some macarons, I had some white chocolate and hazelnuts ganache and a dark chocolate one left over. So, since I don't like to throw away anything, I made this amazing semifreddo. So good!!!!

SEMIFREDDO WITH DARK CHOCOLATE GANACHE AND WHITE CHOCOLATE AND HAZELNUTS GANACHE

INGREDIENTS:

100g mascarpone

50g whipped cream

2 tbs honey ( I used organic honey from Arte Toscana)

2 egg yolks

Dark chocolate ganache:

100g double cream

100g dark chocolate

20g butter

White chocolate ganache:

100g doble cream

100g white chocolate

1 tsp hazelnuts paste

20g butter 

First of all prepare the two ganaches in separate bowls. Heat up the cream in saucepan until it reaches the boil. Remove from heat and add the chocolate in small chunks. Stir well and add the butter. Stir well until creamy and smooth. In the white chocolate ganache together with the chocolate I added the teaspoon of hazelnuts paste (made by blending hazelnuts until I got a smooth cream).

On a separate bowl beat egg yolks with honey, incorporate the mascarpone and whipped cream. Divide mixture into two equal parts and incorporate it to the two chocolate ganaches. 

Pour the two mixtures into a silicon based mould( I used Pavoni Idea mould)and refrigerate for a few hours.

Good afternoon everyone!!! Today I want to suggest you a very nice salad.
It's actually my hubby recipe. Quite often we go out for lunch in a very nice restaurant in Fiumicino, by the see, and why I'm always looking forward to have a nice pasta dish my husband is always looking for salads, but usually there are not so many options. So on day decided to order a simple mixed salad and added some mozzarella and fried calamari. Now it's his favourite dish when we go tho that restaurant  and He is right because it's delicious!!! Not quite light with the fried calamari, but definitely it is fresh and easy!

INGREDIENTS:

• Fresh mixed salad
• Fennel
• Cucumber
• Red peppers
• Cherry tomatoes
• Sweet corn
• Cherry buffalo mozzarella

Simply wash and slice the salad leaves and the rest of the vegetables. Season with salt and extra virgin olive oil, add the buffalo mozzarella and the calamari and that's it!
