Spumoni ( sg.: spumone) is a molded gelato made with layers of different colors and flavors, usually containing candied fruits and nuts. [1] [2] It comes from the Italian word spuma, meaning 'foam'. [2]
Its origins can be traced back to the late 19th century. [3] The Italian version of spumoni is often lightened with whipped cream. [4] They are usually placed in molds especially made for spumoni, although other molds can be used. [5]
Typically, it is of three flavors. Cherry, pistachio and either chocolate or vanilla are the typical flavors of the ice cream layers in the United States, and the fruit/nut layer often contains cherry bits—causing the traditional red/pink, green and brown color combination.
