(Note - "Cassata ice cream is a multicolored ice cream made of alternating layers of different flavors, often topped with sponge cake soaked in liqueur. The term cassata stands for little case, and the ice cream typically has a bricklike shape. This ice cream is believed to be inspired by a very popular sweet in Sicily called cassata."
