Cooks' notes:

• If egg safety is a problem in your area, you may want to use pasteurized egg whites in the carton for the semifreddo. • Semifreddo may be made 1 week ahead and kept frozen. Let soften 30 minutes in refrigerator before unmolding. • You can make espresso sauce 3 days ahead and chill, covered. Reheat to warm before serving.
