A cool treat inspired by spumoni, the classic Italian frozen dessert of ice cream, whipped cream, rum, nuts, and candied fruit. Ingredients:
1/4 cup amaretto or other almond liqueur |
3 tablespoons cherry preserves |
1 cup (6 ounces) fresh cherries, pitted, halved |
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream |
1 tablespoon honey |
1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder or coffee powder |
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (do not exceed 61% cacao), chopped |
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter |
1 1/2 pints pistachio gelato or ice cream |
1 pint vanilla gelato or ice cream |
unsweetened whipped cream |
chopped pistachios |
Directions:
1. Bring amaretto and preserves to boil in saucepan. Reduce heat to medium; boil gently until mixture is reduced to 3 tablespoons, stirring often, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cherries; let soak at room temperature at least 3 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.
2. Bring 2/3 cup cream, honey, and espresso powder to simmer in another small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and butter; whisk until smooth. DO AHEAD: Fudge sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm just until pourable before using.
3. Spoon 1 tablespoon fudge sauce into each of 6 dessert glasses. Add 1 scoop pistachio gelato and 1 scoop vanilla gelato to each glass. Drizzle 1 tablespoon fudge sauce over gelato on each. Top with whipped cream, cherry mixture, and pistachios.
