Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cups whole milk
8 large egg yolks
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, divided
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
2 drops green food coloring
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)
2/3 cup whole blanched almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup unsalted shelled pistachios, toasted and coarsely chopped
Equipment: an ice cream maker

Steps:

  • Bring milk to a simmer in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat. Whisk together yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whisk in milk, then transfer mixture to saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, then boil, whisking constantly, 2 minutes. Immediately strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Divide custard among 3 bowls. To make almond base, whisk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla into 1 bowl; for pistachio base, whisk almond extract and food coloring into another bowl; for chocolate base, whisk cocoa and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla into third bowl.
  • Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Chill custards, surfaces covered with parchment paper (to prevent a skin from forming), until cold, at least 6 hours.
  • Freeze each custard in ice cream maker, 1 batch at a time (white, then green, then brown). Fold almonds into vanilla custard, then fold pistachios into green custard. Transfer to a shallow 2-quart container or 3 smaller containers and put in freezer to firm up, about 4 hours.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The spumoni was not as flavorful as I expected and the texture was icy.

I found this recipe to be a bit complicated. It took me a long time to make and the results were not worth the effort.

This spumoni was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of pistachio, but I'm so glad I did! The pistachio layer was actually my favorite part. It was so flavorful and added a nice contrast to the other layers.
