Mint Chocolate Chip Semifreddo Cake (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

in #food7 years ago

These past few days have flown by in such a blur. We've been so busy moving and trying to get all settled in.

I’ve definitely spent the least time on creating recipes and writing for the blog since the last time I was traveling away from home but I have plans to get back into creating more new recipes soon. Hopefully it hasn’t been too noticeable to you guys. I feel like I’ve been so distant from any kind of routine and coming into a new one is exciting. Not that I like routine much but for a steady workflow sometimes it's necessary.

Ironically, I’ve come up with some pretty creative new on-the-go snacks and stuff but I haven’t had any time for photos of those particular recipes. The truth is that this recipe is a total life-saver right now. This was one of the recipes I had made and, so to speak, shelved a while back. You see, I made it before the move but then I made so many other things that I wanted to share first that I just decided to hold this one back for later. Well, welcome to “later”. Of course, after writing out the recipe I remembered why I put it off, it was one of the more difficult ones to describe but I was also thinking of saving it for St. Patrick’s Day because of the green and minty factor, but that's too far away so I want to share it now. Oh, and today's National Ice Cream Sandwich Day so it sort of goes, right?

So anyway, this dessert. It wasn’t forgotten because it wasn’t good, that’s for sure. Actually, Brock and Sophie are still begging me to make it again. It’s basically a chocolate cake with chocolate icing filled with mint chocolate chip ice cream and drizzled with a naturally colored glaze. I’d like to say more about it, but since I already admitted to you that I made it months ago, I think I’ll leave it at that. It’s definitely worth trying though. With it being hot and summery it's sounding extra appealing, but even in the winter it would be a fun snow day project because you do have to allow time for it to freeze solid.

Gosh,,,,!!It's so wonderful. I couldnt imagine how beautiful the taste is. Cream at the top and in the middle as well!!Wooow..Thanks dear for the recipe that you posted on the comments. Also, the pictures are great!!I couldnt keep waiting for to try. Well, but, I think it gonna be rather difficult to find the proper ingredients in which I'm living:( Anyway, thanks a lot for your post.

Well, I hope you still try by improvising on the ingredients. If you give it a try, please send me a photo

Sure, It will be glad:)

Oh my gosh! It looks like a giant truffle, but then you go and say it's mint chocolate and it becomes even better!

Well, that's what I should have called it, a giant truffle. Ok, next time. Thanks for the inspiration @playfulfoodie

Tasty on the photo!
I want to eat)

As a fellow food blogger I have to compliment you on your fantastic photography. It looks mouthwatering and the perfect dessert for a hot summer day in Florida.

Well thank you so much @lifewithlinda. Welcome to steemit, by the way. You'll do great here

Cake and ice cream, 2 of my favorite things! This looks so good! It has a real "artisan" look to it, which is totally up my alley.
Using avocado in the green icing is a pretty neat idea. Did it oxidize at all, or did keeping it frozen keep it bright green?

No, it did not oxidize. I don't have the scientific explanation, but I am guessing below a certain temperature, there is no oxidation

Cool! That's what I was wondering.

Looks delicious. I'm a fan of mint chocolate chip pretty much anything. I made an awesome mint chocolate chip vegan "ice cream" a couple of times last year that was super easy and so good. It had a cashew base, with coconut milk, so it was even more rich and creamy than regular ice cream. Real mint leaves made it green. One of my favorite flavor combos. :)

Your 'ice cream' sounds amazing. You should so post that!

The lighting and coloring in those pictures are so nice!! No joke. What did you use to get that filtered color?

I have given you a follow :) Talk again soon.

There are no filters. Just a great natural light setting. Someday soon, maybe this weekend, I will post about my new studio

That's really awesome! So it's all raw?

I will be interested to see that post :)

My wife would love to taste that, looks delicious!

Well, maybe you should surprise her and make it for her?

That is the problem I only know how to fry an egg, shame.

Se me hace agua la boca de puro verlo x)

aa, muchas gracias

omg that looks delicious!
