About this dish
Zuccotto is an Italian dessert of Florentine origin. It is a semi-frozen, chilled dessert made with alchermes, cake, and ice cream. It can be frozen, then thawed before serving. Zuccotto is traditionally made in a special pumpkin-shaped mould. It is widely believed to have been inspired by the dome of Florence's duomo. Others allude to its shape as closely resembling a cardinal's skullcap or zucchetto.
