id="recipetitle"class="fn">February's Special Feature: Auntie Shelly's Simple Spumoni
My Aunt Shelly made this ice cream beauty for dessert last night and requested that I feature it on my blog! This dessert has a lot going for it: easy, light and definitely not too sweet. The latter being key as we aren't too big on rich and heavy desserts. |
2 cups whipping cream
2/3 cup (7 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (recommend semi-sweet)
DIRECTIONS
1) Combine the cream, sweetened condensed milk, and rum extract in a large bowl. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
2) Remove from the fridge and beat just until soft peaks form. Do not over beat. Fold in the cherry pie filling, almonds and chocolate chips. Transfer to an 8x8 inch pan. Cover and freeze about four hours or until firm. Scoop out to serve and garnish as desired.
Given the color, this would be especially nice as a simple Valentine's Day dessert for a special someone. However, this meme sums up my life:
