Mango and passion fruit semifreddo with Berries and Pomegranate seeds (postre semifreddo con mango y berries)

This dessert is nice for every season, summer or medium winter (like here). 

You can use whatever berries you can get for the garnish,I love the touch of toasted hazelnuts!
If you don't have a loaf tin use other container  pour the mixture in popsicle moulds and freeze.
Just delicious.
