Spumoni

Have you ever had spumoni ice cream? It is three ice creams to make one great dessert. My friend told me how to make this dessert. It is like Neapolitan ice cream but with cherry, pistachio, and chocolate ice cream. The ice cream has candied cherries with nuts throughout it. It is easier to make this dessert with ice cream slightly softened or freshly homemade. This is the perfect dessert to serve on a hot day.
Spumoni 
1 pint of chocolate ice cream
1/2 cup hazelnuts, roasted
1 pint of cherry ice cream
1/2 cup candied cherries
1 pint of pistachio ice cream
1/2 cup pistachio, roasted

Directions:
  1. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate ice cream with the hazelnuts.
  2. Evenly spread the ice cream into a 13x10 baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the pistachio ice cream with the roasted pistachio.
  4. Evenly spread on top of the chocolate ice cream layer.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cherry ice cream with the candied cherries.
  6. Evenly spread the cherry ice cram over the pistachio ice cream layer.
  7. Place plastic wrap on top of the ice cream and wrap well.
  8. Wrap a second time with aluminum foil.

  10. Serve once the ice cream has refrozen overnight.
