Pistachio Semifreddo With Coconut Nectar Toffee Swirls
I had been thinking about how to make this ice cream for a while, and I didn’t want to add too many complicated flavors that would conflict with the topping for this dessert. I had just made a batch of Faloodeh soaked in a rose water sorbet — a lovely, fragrant flavor that you either…
