We have Fettucine Alfredo on Christmas Eve, partly because
of the 2006 movie The Holiday, and partly because the long, skinny pasta
represents straw and hay in the manger. Our favorite Italian restaurant always
crowns its pasta meals with spumoni gelato: a swirl of cherry, chocolate and
pistachio. Spumoni is a rare find at our grocer. I could always make ice cream
in these three flavors, but my grandkids would be unlikely to try them. I
wonder if a pie would seem more acceptable to them.
Easy Spumoni Pie
1 Oreo pie crust
1 pint EACH Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia, Chocolate Fudge
Brownie and Pistachio Pistachio
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces chocolate chips
Soften cherry ice cream; gently spread about 2/3 of it in
pie crust. Freeze at least 20 minutes. Repeat with chocolate and pistachio.
Warm chocolate chips in double boiler. Slowly add cream, stirring. Cool
slightly. Drizzle over top of pie. Serve very cold.
