Spumoni

Spumoni is an Italian layered dessert consisting of ice cream, whipped cream, nuts, and candied fruits such as cherries. It's also often described as a layered and molded custard-based ice cream on the outside and a semifreddo or parfait inside. Originally, spumoni was made as a combination of ice cream, nuts, and fruits surrounding a sponge cake, but today the term can denote any layered ice cream.

The most popular flavors used in spumoni are cherry, pistachio, and vanilla (or chocolate), with red, green, and white colors representing the Italian flag. The dessert is widely enjoyed in Italy, but it is also popular in Argentina and the United States of America due to a large number of immigrants who popularized spumoni in those countries.

In America, spumoni is usually accompanied by butter cookies on the side, especially during wintertime.
