CASSATA GELATO
A very easy and spectacular frozen dessert which is perfect for Christmas in a hot climate. This family favourite is from an old and well-loved cookery book of mine, The Australian Women's Weekly Italian Cooking Class Cookbook.

CASSATA GELATA I (MOLDED ICE CREAM)
This is one of the simplest versions of this wonderful dessert which requires no cooking, just a little time and patience which will, I promise, be amply rewarded. I recommend using really good quality store-bought ice cream but, if you wish, you can reduce the calories and fat by using frozen yogurt. But you don't eat this every day, so go for it, whipped cream and all. Just make sure the bowl you use will fit into your freezer. Almost all the time is freezing time.

Steps:
- Soften the chocolate ice cream.
- Coat the inside of a two-quart bowl (stainless steel is the easiest) with the chocolate ice cream.
- Place the bowl in the freezer and allow the chocolate layer to harden.
- While the chocolate is hardening, soften the vanilla ice cream.
- When the chocolate layer is frozen, take the bowl from the freezer and coat the inside with the vanilla ice cream.
- Replace the bowl in the freezer and take out the pistachio ice cream and let it soften.
- When the vanilla ice cream is hard, take out the bowl and coat the inside with the pistachio ice cream.
- Replace in the freezer.
- Whip one cup of the cream with two tablespoons of the sugar.
- Fold the nuts into the cream mixture and place the cream/nut mixture into the center of the bowl.
- Replace it in the freezer while you whip the remaining cream and sugar.
- When you're ready to serve, remove the bowl and unmold the ice cream onto your serving platter.
- If it doesn't come out easily, dip the bowl into warm water and try again; it should come right out.
- Now cover the ice cream 'mound' with whipped cream.
- If you want it make it fancy, put some whipped cream into a pastry bag and make rosettes around the edge and on top.
- With a vegetable peeler, shave off curls of the chocolate and garnish the platter.
- Bring a cake server and a pitcher of warm water to the table.
- Dip the server in the water and slice servings of the cassata.
CASSATA
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- To make the cake, beat the eggs preferably in an electric mixer for 5 minutes. Add the sugar and grated citrus peel and continue to beat until the beater leaves a ribbon-like trail, about 15 minutes. Fold in the flour by hand, one-third at a time.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes then unmold and cool completely.
- To make the syrup: In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup of warm water with the sugar and the liqueur. Stir the syrup until the sugar dissolves.
- To form the cassata: Slice the cake into 2 (1/2-inch-thick) slices. Trim the crusts from the cake then return one of the layers to the springform pan. Spoon half the syrup over the cake then spread a layer of ricotta crema on top. Repeat, carefully placing another layer of cake, drizzling with syrup then spreading with ricotta. Wrap the cake in plastic and chill it for at least 1 hour.
- To make the frosting: Sift half of the confectioners' sugar into a bowl. Add half of the lemon juice and all of the lemon extract. Stir the liquid into the sugar, breaking up any lumps. Sift the remaining sugar into the bowl and add the rest of the lemon juice. Thin the icing with a little water until it has a thin spreading consistency and forms smooth, shiny icing.
- Unwrap the cassata and invert it onto a serving plate. Ice the cassata then decorate it with whole and cut pieces of candied fruit. Chill the cassata for at least 3 hours, then slice and serve.
