Inspired by Toblerone, we’ve served this semifreddo in triangular wedges, but you could simply spoon the topping over the whole loaf before serving in slices.
Step 1For the semifreddo, in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt the chocolate, almond butter and a pinch of salt. Remove bowl from heat and stir in the caramel until smooth. Set bowl aside to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, line a 900g loaf tin with baking parchment or clingfilm, making sure the excess hangs over the sides.
Step 2In a separate large bowl, using a handheld electric whisk, beat the cream until it holds soft peaks. Using a large metal spoon, mix a spoonful of cream into the chocolate mixture to loosen, then gently fold in the remaining cream and the chopped nougat, until just combined. Scrape into the prepared tin and smooth to level. Cover and freeze for 8hr (ideally overnight), until solid.
Step 3To serve, allow the semifreddo to soften at room temperature (in tin) for 8-10min. Meanwhile, make the topping. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a small bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool to room temperature.
Step 4Using the clingfilm/parchment, transfer the semifreddo to a board (peel off clingfilm/parchment). Using a large, sharp knife, cut into 8 slices, then cut each slice on the diagonal into 2 triangles. Arrange the triangles on a serving plate or board, drizzle over the topping and sprinkle over the chopped almonds. Serve.
GET AHEAD Prepare to end of step 2 up to a month ahead. Complete recipe to serve. Alternatively, slice the frozen semifreddo into triangles up to 2 days ahead. Lay the slices flat on a large baking tray lined with baking parchment, cover and freeze. Complete recipe to serve.
