: Spumoni, or spumone (from spuma
: "foam"), is a molded Italian ice
: cream made with layers of different colors
: and flavors, usually containing candied
: fruits and nuts. Typically it is of three
: flavors, with a fruit/nut layer between
: them. The ice cream layers are often mixed
: with whipped cream. Chocolate and pistachio
: are the typical flavors of the ice cream
: layers, and the fruit/nut layer often
: contains cherry bits—causing the traditional
: red/pink, brown, and green color
: combination. This dish comes from Naples,
: and the three-flavored Neopolitan ice cream
: evolved from it. Spumoni is virtually
: unknown in Italy today, but it is popular in
: places with large Italian immigrant
: populations such as the United States and
: Argentina. August 21 is National Spumoni Day
