Ingredients
1 cup blanched slivered almonds, toasted and cooled
1 cup superfine granulated sugar, divided
2 cups heavy cream, chilled
3 teaspoons instant espresso powder, dissolved in 3 teaspoons hot water and cooled
6 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
1. Butter a 10" springform pan and line bottom with parchment paper.
2. In bowl of a food processor, grind slivered almonds and 3/4 cup sugar together, pulsing carefully to avoid blending into a paste.
3. In bowl of electric mixer, using whisk attachment, whip chilled cream and espresso mixture until soft peaks form. Transfer to refrigerator.
4. In a clean, dry bowl, whip egg whites at medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add vanilla extract and remaining 1/4 cup sugar and whip at high speed until glossy and stiff peaks form.
5. Fold whipped cream into meringue, then fold in ground nut mixture.
6. Transfer semifreddo batter into springform pan. Smooth top. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Flavonoids, also found in wine are types of pigments that are water-soluble and created by plants of many varieties. There are thousands of different flavanoids. Plants use flavonoids in the process of photosynthesis.
How the human body actually uses and/or processes flavonoids is still not determined but they have been linked to good health in many areas - particularly blood circulation.
If you are a science buff, then you'll be interested to know that flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds containing 15 carbon atoms, two benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain. If you're just an average, everyday person with a sweet tooth, then you'll be interested to know that good things are contained in a single bite of dark chocolate. So please, put down the chemistry book and enjoy some today!
