Honey, almond and ginger semifreddo with a hint of thyme (semifreddo di mandorla e miele, con zenzero e timo)

This semifreddo is sublime. You must make it and you must try it. Tonight. Each bite – honeyed and sweet – reminds me of a honeycomb ice-cream my mother used to make when I was a child. When we lived in a sleepy town in Australia, a town called Broome. My recipe is cold like ice-cream, but softer in texture, like melted ice-cream. The salted almonds give it an irresistible crunch and the stem ginger a peppery kick. Part of what I love most about this recipe is that you don’t need an ice-cream machine.
