A unique dessert is created by three molded layers of flavored gelato. The creamy creation often includes candied fruits and nuts in two layers and a third chocolate layer.
A "genuine spumoni" recipe was imported from Nola, Italy in 1905, according to a Chicago Tribune article from July 4, 1979. Salvatore Lezza and his wife, Lucia, opened a bakery in Chicago with his partner Salvatore Lezza. Three layers of semifreddo – an almond layer, semisweet chocolate, and stracciatella were among the dishes' traditional dish. Stracciatella is a form of gelato with irregular bits of chocolate in it.
However, most spumoni in the United States would feature a cherry layer with cherry bits, a layer of pistachio ice cream, and a layer of chocolate. To name a few, other varieties include hazelnut, vanilla, strawberry, and pineapple.
