Zuccotto

Zuccotto is an Italian dessert of Florentine origin, a semi-frozen chilled dessert made with alchermes liqueur, cake and ice cream, which can be frozen and then thawed before serving. It is traditionally made in a special pumpkin-shaped mould, widely believed to have been inspired by the dome of Florence's cathedral, though some liken its shape instead to a cardinal's skullcap, or zucchetto.
