    i've just made this for the second time--the first time a few years ago when it first aired. everybody and i LOVE this dessert! i toasted the already dry roasted almond slivers and it added a great contrast in flavors. i served it with ina's unstrained blueberry sauce as i like the addition of whole berries in the sauce. i have a stand mixer but made this with a hand mixer. i have extra blueberry sauce so i'm going to make again using several smaller containers so i can spread the love around. don't know why i waited so long to make again!!!!

    I have made this twice now and it is a HUGE hit - great refreshing tasty desert. Make the semifredo a day or 2 ahead and leave it in the freezer. And you can make the fruit salad several hours ahead and refrigerate (just take out and let worm slightly. Note, you don't have to have a standing mixer - you can whip and cool with a hand mixer. It works just fine.

    Outstanding and impresive for guests.
    A couple of notes:
    - i used a heaping 1/2 c of almonds and i could have used a little more to get better coverage.
    - the amount of time i needed for the lemony mixture to whip and cool off was about 6 minutes.
    - i beat the whipped cream until just slightly mor than soft peaks and it seemed to be perfect.
    - I chose blueberry sauce as i had lots in my freezer from this summer and i thought the color/contract would be prettier.

    The dessert was a hit! Will make this again and again as it is a total do-ahead.

    This was fantastic! I loved it all, though I might substitute strawberries or blueberries just for more color and I'm not crazy about the mango, plus the oranges are a lot of work. 25 minutes is NOT enough time to prep this recipe! I did love that I could make it the day before and just get the fruit ready a couple of hours before serving. My guests all raved about it!

    This is fabulous - light but rich in flavor. I didn't love the fruit salad, but it was great with fresh strawberries. I'll try it with a blueberry compote next time. Great for entertaining, you can do it all ahead.

    Fabulous! Watched Anne make it and did exactly like she did. Nice and lite and refreshing. One of my favorites. Anne Burrell is also a favorite of mine. She never makes recipes too hard to follow and I can always get the ingredients.
    THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR THIS DESSERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Mildly tasking to make (a little time intensive, but make it the day before and it doesn't matter! This is a class dessert that can be changed simply by using a different garnish, but try it with the orange and mango salad first. The perfect dessert that you can just grab out of the freezer and it beats any ice cream hands down.
