Place the loaf pan into the freezer for 15 minutes to chill while preparing the ingredients.
Let the cherry ice cream soften slightly at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes. Spread an even layer of cherry ice cream into the bottom of the chilled loaf pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula, then sprinkle half of the candied cherries over this layer. Freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
Next, let the pistachio ice cream soften slightly. Spread an even layer of pistachio ice cream over the cherry layer. Sprinkle half of the chopped pistachios over this layer and gently press them into the ice cream. Freeze for another 15 minutes.
Finally, let the chocolate ice cream soften slightly. Spread an even layer of chocolate ice cream over the pistachio layer. Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips and remaining chopped pistachios over the top, gently pressing them in if needed.
Cover the spumoni with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent freezer burn. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
When ready to serve, remove the loaf pan from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Carefully lift the spumoni out of the loaf pan using the plastic wrap.
Using a sharp knife, cut the spumoni into thick slices and serve immediately. Enjoy this layered, flavorful Italian dessert!
