Spumoni

Spumoni

Spumoni, or spumone, is a molded Italian ice cream made with layers of different colors and flavors, usually containing candied fruits and nuts. Typically it is of three flavors, with a fruit/nut layer between them. The ice cream layers are often mixed with whipped cream. Chocolate and pistachio are the typical flavors of the ice cream layers, and the fruit/nut layer often contains cherry bits -- causing the traditional red/pink, brown, and green color combination.This dish comes from Naples, and the three-flavored Neapolitan ice cream evolved from it.

August 21 is National Spumoni Day in the United States. November 13th is National Spumoni Day in Canada. [ [http://www.allabouticecream.com/History/nationaldays.html National Days ] ]
