Tis the season, ladies and gentlemen! Amongst the spirit and
visual aspects of the holidays the taste of this time of year reigns
supreme. Peppermint swirls are just one
of the true delights worthy of adding to just about anything. Notably fastened upon gingerbread houses,
this year’s peppermint has an upgraded appearance making it into gelato.
Peppermint flavored gelato, albeit delicious in original form, can change the
way the holidays are enjoyed when incorporated with the traditional.
A cup of hot chocolate topped with peppermint gelato will
leave the marshmallows in the pantry to go stale. Adorned atop any pie or cake,
the perfect escort to Christmas cookies, and a visual delight with an array of
candy toppings there is no limit to the decadent, creamy, peppermint-y gelato’s
use. Holiday party attendees will be wowed by the means of the flavor, but then
again the same reaction is warranted eaten alone straight from the bowl… it is
that good.

| Spumoni Gelato |
Ways to add new sentiment and flavor to the traditions shared
within families is to share spumoni gelato with those that matter most. Spumoni
or known to Italians as spumone is
combination of cherry, chocolate, and pistachio layers folded with cherries and
nuts. If spumoni is unfamiliar with friends or family, it is such an exciting
combination to introduce.
Try serving the gorgeous scoop of spumoni gelato in tea cups
when hosting family or an intimate sized crowd, beyond ideal for a friend’s
wedding or baby shower in the next couple months. A bonus for tea cups that
have been handed down from previous generations they will be a wonderful portal
to expose something new while bringing a modern use to a treasured item. Otherwise be on the lookout for all different
patterned and sized tea cups on each shopping trip and set the dessert table
early on, once with the spumoni gelato added the eclectic display will be just
as appreciated by friends and acquaintances.
The table never looked so pretty and no grandparent ever swooned so
gleefully at a new holiday dish.
Traditions with a twist and creating new ones are part of
the joy in the passing of each season.
Be it the comfort of an old friend, peppermint, or the excitement of
trying a new food for the first time, spumoni, a holiday with gelato is bound
to be the most enjoyable addition this year and fixed in the food line-up for
many years to come.
