Nougat Semifreddo

Sometimes on my Sunday morning visits to the Café de Paris with my father, I would eschew the lemon granita that I loved so much and really go for it with a semifreddo from the freezer. This one, made with ground nougat and drizzled with a stream of bitter, dark chocolate (which was usually poured from a tiny silver jug by a handsome waiter in white gloves), remains one of my favourite desserts in the world.
