Spumoni Salad

Buy mini dark chocolate chips instead of regular dark chocolate chips and you won't have to bother with chopping the chips into smaller chunks.

INGREDIENTS | SERVES 6

1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping

1 (3-ounce) packet instant pistachio pudding

2 cups fresh cherries

½ cup dark chocolate chips, roughly chopped

¼ cup shelled pistachios, chopped

  • Stir whipped topping and pudding mix together in a large mixing bowl. Mix well, making sure the mix dissolves completely into the topping.

  • Remove the stems and pits from the cherries.

    Chop cherries into quarters. You should end up with about 1 cup chopped cherries. Add cherries to bowl.

  • Stir chips and pistachios into the salad. Mix well. Serve immediately or cover and chill in refrigerator until serving time.

Spectacular Spumoni

Classic spumoni is molded Italian ice cream containing a layer of chocolate and a layer of vanilla with candied fruits and nuts in a whipped cream layer. However, modern spumoni is an American-Italian ice cream that evolved from the classic dessert. Most modern spumoni ice creams contain a chocolate layer, a cherry layer with candied cherries, and a pistachio layer with chopped pistachios.
