Spumone
(Serves 10 to 12)
Spumone is a molded Italian ice cream dessert usually containing chopped fruits and nuts.
The word spumone derives from the Italian "spuma" or foam. It has a lighter texture than plain ice cream because whipped cream is mixed into one of the layers. Spumone is often made with 3 different flavors of ice cream resulting in a multi-colored confection; our recipe is made with only vanilla ice cream.
