Last friday was spumoni day, and to celebrate this incredible Italian dessert we will tell you all about it. So spumoni which is the plural of spumone is an Italian ice cream dessert that is super indulgent. Although recipes differ a little bit from one region to another spumoni is basically layered ice cream with dried or candied fruits and nuts.

Most commonly it is made with vanilla ice cream, dark cherry ice cream and pistachio ice cream so the colors are similar to the Italian flag. Sometimes chocolate ice cream is used. The icecream is sometimes swirled with whipped cream to make it even smoother. In between the layers are sweet chewy dried or candied fruits and crunched nuts. They give extra texture and crunch to this lovely ice cream treat.

 

If you are not a fan of these ice cream flavours there is a version with more general flavours being vanilla, strawberry and chocolate, this is called a Neapolitan ice cream.
