The group text between my mother, sister, and I has been mostly about Spumoni for the past couple of months. We love to talk about recipes together; more specifically, what we are currently making and our memories about recipes from our past. Mom was craving Spumoni—the classic Italian ice cream cake traditionally made of layered […]
Okay. Calling this cake is a bit of a misnomer. Yes, it’s cake-shaped with stacked layers made for slicing and it’s even frosted, but there’s nary a crumb to speak of. It’s 100% mousse, in cherry…
Spumoni is a layered ice cream dessert from Italy made from chocolate, cherry, and pistachio ice cream. These layers are formed into a loaf that is sliced and served with optional toppings like whipped cream, nuts, and chopped cherries. This simple recipe uses store bought ice cream which is quicker than making your own.

Hello and Happy National Spumoni Day! Now, Spumoni is traditionally an Italian ice cream dessert but I decided to give it a little twist today. Mostly for fun...but also because I couldn't squeeze three days of ice cream making into the schedule this week AND couldn't find any Spumoni at the couple grocery stores that I frequent. A Spumoni typically has three layers of ice cream; chocolate, cherry almond and pistachio. I did these flavors but created some beautiful Spumoni Cake Truffles instead. Yummy! I was hoping to share an awesome recipe here but being my first time ever making these babies, I still need to tweak it a bit. I have made many cakepops before but never tried a multiple flavor or layering technique. I will give you the just for now. I baked one 13x9 cherry chip cake and then crumbled it up and divided it evenly into three separate bowls. One third of the cake I mixed with chocolate frosting, one third I mixed with vanilla frosting and almond extract and then the last third I mixed with some pistachio pudding powder and vanilla frosting. I gently layered a teaspoon of each flavor and rolled into a ball. Then, I dipped each ball into melted semi-sweet chocolate chips and sprinkled with chopped pistachios, setting in the fridge to set. Voila! Spumoni Cake Truffles. Hope you enjoy what you see here. If you get a chance to make some, please share. I would love to know! Don't forget that sharing is caring. Ginny Bites has lots more fun to come! - - - - - Did you see the blog post where I announce my winning a spot into the World Food Championships this coming November in Orange Beach, Alabama?!

Kinda. I mean, in all honesty this cake was inspired from some ice cream I saw at the grocery store. But when I saw it the first thing I thought was… Neapolitan Cake. I need to make this “spumoni” into my Neapolitan Cake!
The Spumoni Cocktail is a delightful and colorful drink that captures the essence of the famous Italian dessert. With its layered appearance and sweet, creamy flavor, it's a festive choice for any celebration.
I grew up enjoying slabs or scoops of spumoni to help cleanse my family's palates after our weekly dinner at any given Italian joint around Chicagoland. We always ordered at least one spumoni "for the table" which, for some reason, always made perfect sense, but as my wife, Sarah, pointed out to me way back in 2000 when she first started "coming around" the family, "Why do you guys order canoe-loads of appetizers, entrees and sides, but when the time comes for dessert, you like, order one thing….for the table, to split, like one little dessert for 10 large people. I want my own dessert, I had a salad and some chicken breast meat, I crave my own dessert and would prefer not to watch it get passed round-the-horn while you and your family absolutely decimate it spoon by spoon until it finally makes its way back to me; a puddle of crumbs, a schmeared shell of its former self. I just want my own dessert, Babe...." So I say, "…but spumoni has like, three different flavors in one." Twenty-three years later, we are still in love, yet sharing desserts.
Layers of ice cream, pistachios, and maraschino cherries are topped with homemade magic shell and whipped cream in this stunning Spumoni Ice Cream Cake recipe.
