Your New Almond Joy

Single-Serve Sensations • Inspired by a recipe in my friend Julie Tanous’s cookbook, Food Between Friends, I combined my love for strawberry pretzel salad and creamy semifreddo to create a heavenly summertime treat. I punctuated our lush Vanilla Semifreddo with a sweet-tart strawberry spread, creating a beautiful swirl effect atop a salty pecan-pretzel crumb crust. For the perfect presentation, I used my copper molds to shape the dessert and devised a simple method for effortlessly removing the individual servings from their molds. Just a heads-up, this dessert requires a minimum of six hours in the freezer, so plan accordingly.
