Spumoni
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 two 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, the fruit/nut layer often contains cherry bits.
This dish comes from Naples, and the three-flavored Neapolitan ice cream evolved from it. Because of immigration influx, it's very popular in Argentina too.
It is an 'original' ice cream flavor, yet is considered unorthodox by today's standards. The addition of candied fruit and nuts likens the spumoni flavor to that of a fruitcake.
