Spumoni is a traditional Italian dessert that originated in Naples. This delightful treat is a combination of layers of different flavored ice creams, typically cherry, pistachio, and chocolate, with candied fruits and nuts mixed in. The name "Spumoni" comes from the Italian word "spuma," meaning foam, which refers to the dessert's light and airy texture. It gained popularity in the United States in the late 19th century with the influx of Italian immigrants. Today, Spumoni is enjoyed in many Italian restaurants and gelaterias around the world. For the best Spumoni experience, seek out authentic Italian eateries or gelaterias known for their traditional recipes.
