How to Make Spumoni

  1. Line a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, soften 2 cups of chocolate ice cream until it's easily spreadable.
  3. Evenly layer the softened chocolate ice cream into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
  4. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 with 2 cups of pistachio ice cream, layering it on top of the chocolate ice cream.
  6. In a separate bowl, gently combine 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup stemmed cherries (halved or quartered), 1/4 cup chopped macaroons, and 1/4 cup chopped pistachio nuts. Add 1 tablespoon of rum (optional). Mix well, but be careful not to overmix.
  7. Evenly spoon the vanilla ice cream mixture over the pistachio layer.
  8. Cover and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  9. In a small bowl, soften 1 cup of raspberry sherbet until spreadable. Spread it evenly over the vanilla layer.
  10. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
  11. Cover the pan tightly with foil and freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  12. To unmold, run a thin dinner knife or offset spatula around the edges of the pan. Dip the bottom of the pan briefly into a bowl of hot water. Place a well-chilled serving platter over the pan and invert.
  13. Garnish as desired with extra cherries, macaroon crumbs, and chopped pistachios.
  14. Slice spumoni with a knife dipped into hot water for clean cuts.
