Spumoni is an Italian dessert made from milk, sugar, eggs, and heavy cream. This dessert is similar to ice cream, but it has a different texture and flavor due to the added candied fruits and nuts. Spumoni comes in three layers of different colors and flavors: chocolate, cherry, and pistachio. This dessert is a perfect option for hot summer days or any special occasions. The sweet and creamy texture of Spumoni is perfect for any party or gathering with friends and family.

Instructions

1.In a saucepan, heat milk and sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved.
2.In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until light and frothy. Slowly pour the milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.
