Hazelnut praline semifreddo with salted chocolate sauce

A no-churn semifreddo that comes together in about 10 minutes with some store-cupboard ingredients is a good thing at this time of the year. Once prepared and moulded, the semifreddo will sit happily in the freezer for about a week until ready to serve. Make the quick and delicious sauce on the day of serving

A traditional Bakewell tart consists of a pastry shell filled with jam and almond cream filling, finished with a layer of icing and a cherry on top. My version here replaces the jam layer with fresh plums for brightness and acidity. A little raising agent in the rich nutty filling lightens the crumb, while the layer of white icing has been replaced by a light dusting of icing sugar. Cut into bars, this is a hand-held, portable cake to take with you on a long drive, to a picnic or to pack into a lunchbox, but it’s equally good plated for dessert and served with cream.
