Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chocolate gelato
- 500 grams Pistachio gelato
- 500 grams Cherry gelato or sorbet
- 100 grams Candied cherries
- 50 grams Chopped pistachios
- 50 grams Dark chocolate shavings
- 200 grams Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
Line a loaf pan or a domed bowl (approximately 1.5 liters in capacity) with plastic wrap, ensuring it overhangs the edges for easy removal later.
Soften each flavor of gelato slightly by leaving it at room temperature for 5–10 minutes, but do not let it melt completely.
Spoon the chocolate gelato into the pan or bowl to form the first layer. Spread evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle a third of the candied cherries and dark chocolate shavings over this layer.
Next, spread the pistachio gelato over the chocolate layer. Sprinkle with half of the chopped pistachios and another third of the candied cherries.
Finally, spread the cherry gelato or sorbet as the final layer. Top with the remaining candied cherries and dark chocolate shavings. Smooth the surface and press gently to ensure the layers adhere.
Cover the pan or bowl with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully firm.
When ready to serve, remove the spumoni from the freezer and lift it out of the pan using the overhanging plastic wrap. Invert it onto a serving plate and peel off the plastic wrap.
Cut the spumoni into slices with a warm knife. Garnish with fresh whipped cream, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious Italian treat!
