Pomegranate and strawberry semifreddo (semifreddo de frutillas y granadas)






Finally after almost  3 weeks when I could not do almost anything or write or make a post on my blog I am slowly starting to use more my right hand. 

The problem when I fell was on my right shoulder but you already know that the arm is a whole. I still use sling but I move more and cook more (with my left hand) so I made this dessert to go back.

Thank you for all your greetings and messages, they helped me to be more animated in a time that I feel useless.
Lots of love xo


Note: this dessert is with pomegranates and strawberries but you can use only strawberries  or other delicious berries.
