Caramel spumoni is an Italian frozen dessert that’s a combination of vanilla, chocolate, and caramel ice cream with cherries and almonds mixed in. It’s a decadent addition to any recipe, but when paired with English trifle, it takes the dessert to a whole new level.
Here’s how to create a delicious English trifle with caramel spumoni:
Ingredients:
– 1 9×13-inch sponge cake or angel food cake
– 1 package of instant vanilla pudding mix
– 1 package of instant caramel pudding mix
– 2 cups cold milk
– 1 pint heavy cream
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
– 1 cup fresh blueberries
– 1 cup fresh raspberries
– 1 cup chopped cherries
– 1/2 cup toasted almonds
– 1 pint caramel spumoni ice cream
Instructions:
1. Start by baking your cake according to the package instructions, and allow it to cool completely. Once the cake is cool, cut it into small pieces and layer them in the bottom of a 9×13-inch glass baking dish.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and 1 cup of cold milk until it begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes. Pour the pudding over the cake and spread it out evenly.
3. Next, whisk together the caramel pudding mix with the remaining cup of milk until it begins to thicken. Pour the caramel pudding over the layer of vanilla pudding, making sure to spread it out evenly.
4. Allow the pudding layers to set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
5. Once the pudding layers have set, prepare your whipped cream. In a large bowl, beat together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
6. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the top of the pudding layers.
7. Add a layer of sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and chopped cherries on top of the whipped cream.
8. Top the fruit with small scoops of caramel spumoni ice cream.
9. Finally, sprinkle toasted almonds over the top of the ice cream and serve immediately.
