The name cassata literally means "little case" due to its brick shape. Cassata is an ice-cream, shaped like a brick, consisting of layers of ice-creams of different flavours on liqueur soaked sponge.
This is the Sicilian version of the dessert. I have chosen ready-made ice-cream to make a quick dessert. You may make the ice-cream yourself at home.
Rum steeped sponge cake, topped with a layer of strawberry ice-cream, flavoured rum soaked sultanas, candied peel, finally topped with coffee cinnamon ice-cream and garnished with grated chocolate.
You can prepare the cassata upto 2 to 3 days in advance and keep it frozen. A great dessert for a great evening!
Also do try other Italian desserts like Tiramisu , Almond Biscotti and Sicilian Orange Almond Cake .
