Whether you’re celebrating a summer afternoon with friends, or taking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, ice cream always delivers a moment of joy. But if you’re looking to elevate your ice cream game, why not try making homemade spumoni ice cream? This Italian-inspired ice cream recipe blends together flavors of pistachio, cherry, and chocolate into one creamy, delicious treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a homemade spumoni ice cream that will have everyone coming back for more. Here’s how you do it.

Making spumoni ice cream at home is surprisingly simple. Start by gathering your ingredients: 1 pint heavy cream, 1 cup of sugar, 3 egg yolks, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, 1/2 cup chopped pistachios, 1/2 cup chopped cherries, and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Begin by combining the cream, sugar, and egg yolks in a medium heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon—this should take about 8 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Let the custard cool for at least 15 minutes before adding the chopped nuts, cherries, and cocoa powder.

Once the custard is completely cooled, transfer it to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When the ice cream is finished, transfer it to a container with a lid and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight. When ready to serve, scoop the spumoni ice cream into dishes and enjoy!
