Dear Culinary Lazywebs: Making semifreddo - requires eggs or not?
Dear Culinary Lazywebs: Making semifreddo - requires eggs or not? Particularly as this sometimes means raw. I have found recipes with and without the egg component. Is it just a richness thing? a texture thing? or is it simply not a semifreddo without the eggs? Please help before I cook something evil.
Not sure. But the pasteurized eggs are good... My dad uses them in his Caesar salad.

If the Italian version is made with gelato, that typically means it would be made without eggs, whereas other varieties are ice cream or custard, which both contain eggs. Sounds like a personal preference to me.
So probably a richness/texture thing, then. Thx!
