Juicy plums and warm black pepper create the final component in this scoopable dessert: a fruity ribbon (with just the slightest kick) that swirls through the creamy semifreddo. This version of semifreddo comes together like a no-churn ice cream, using yogurt or labneh (instead of eggs) as a base. Beating heavy cream to stiff peaks and gently folding it in makes the mixture light and scoopable.

Mix up the fruit and spices with these other combinations: Raspberry-Cardamom Yogurt Semifreddo and Mango-Sumac Yogurt Semifreddo.
