Fondant frozen-strawberries mattonella

What is the issue with a busy week? Oh, you ask what is a busy week? Well .... work, pregnancy (5 weeks to go) and looking for a new house in a city not near-by .... enough??? So what is the effect of a busy week? A busy week-end cooking. And this is the case for us now ... we have been are are still cooking a lot for an overall of two new desserts and two new pasta dishes which will appear soon on these pages.

But the first one needs to be this dessert Elke made yesterday and we tried today, since it is strawberry season and this mattonella (italian name for something in between a semifreddo and an ice-cream) is simply perfect as is mixes chocolate with frozen strawberries (frozen fruit is something typical of Amalfi and, thus, a simbol of our wedding). It is easy ... it requires really dark chocolate and it needs being served in thin slices, since the fruit gets frozen.

Should I add more? Is the photo not enough to attract your taste-buds? Well, in this case join me now in eating a bit of it .... if you manage to get here in time ;-)
