  • Prep 30 min
  • Total 4 hr 30 min
  • Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chopped slivered almonds
  • 3 tablespoons margarine or butter
  • 12 vanilla creme-filled finger sandwich cookies, crushed
  • 1 quart (4 cups) spumoni ice cream, slightly softened
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge ice cream topping
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream, whipped
  • 8 maraschino cherries with stems

Steps

  • 1
    In medium skillet, toast almonds over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until light golden brown, stirring frequently. Add margarine; cook until margarine is melted and almonds are golden brown, stirring constantly. Add cookie crumbs; mix well. Cool 15 minutes or until completely cooled.
  • 2
    Line 8x4-inch loaf pan with foil. Spread 1/2 cup cooled crumb mixture evenly in bottom of foil-lined pan; press down lightly. Evenly spread half of the ice cream over crumbs. Top with remaining crumb mixture; press down lightly.
  • 3
    Stir ice cream topping to soften. Spoon topping over crumbs; carefully spread almost to sides of pan. Evenly spread remaining half of ice cream over topping. Cover; freeze at least 4 hours or until firm.
  • 4
    To serve, unmold ice cream onto cutting board; remove foil. Cut into 8 slices; place on individual dessert plates. Top each serving with whipped cream and a cherry.

  • Use your favorite ice cream in place of the spumoni. Try Neapolitan; it has equal parts of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, or try a single flavor.
  • Hot fudge ice cream topping varies in consistency. Choose spreadable hot fudge for this recipe. Use room temperature topping and stir it until the texture softens enough to spread.
  • Put this dazzling dessert together up to three days ahead. For easier slicing after long freezing, let the dessert soften in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
