Spumoni Brownie Torte

Spumoni Brownie Torte brings the classic flavors of Italian spumoni – chocolate, pistachio and cherry – to your table in the form of a company-worthy frozen dessert. This is a sponsored post for HemisFares™ brand that is available exclusively at the Kroger family of stores.  All opinions are honest and 100% my own.

Spumoni Brownie Torte

Spumoni is one of the those special occasion flavors for me. I’m not Italian (French, British, German – and Irish by marriage) but my Mom always brought out a spumoni ice cream roll with our cookies each holiday season. As a kid I thought the combination of chocolate, pistachio and maraschino cherries was just so exotic – and the colors were pretty too.

That’s where my inspiration for this dessert came from – fond childhood memories. And thanks to HemisFares and Kroger I am able to infuse this ‘homemade with help from the store’ dessert with truly authentic Pistachio Gelato, sourced from Italy. 

 

I wanted this dessert to be simple yet taste truly special. So a box of brownie mix gets ‘doctored up’ with melted butter (instead of oil) and maraschino cherry juice (instead of water). Some maraschino cherries folded in and under baking the brownie just a bit makes a stand out, intensely favored chocolate base for the cool and creamy pistachio gelato layer on top.

This Spumoni Brownie Torte is actually better made the day before you plan to serve it so it has plenty of time to chill in the freezer, making it a good choice for entertaining. Lasagna or pasta topped with one of HemisFares authentic Italian sauces (plus salad and garlic bread) would be a terrific dinner pairing with this dessert.
