Celebration Cassata

Cassata is a traditional Italian ice-cream usually served on special occasions and celebrations such as Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, Weddings, Anniversaries and other celebratory seasons.  It is the perfect dessert, as it can be made ahead of time and simply cut and served when needed.  

This version of Cassata is created dairy free by making a homemade coconut ice-cream instead of dairy ice-cream and uses goodMix ingredients for superior nutritional goodness and taste. It is suitable for all dietary requirements including gluten free, dairy free, egg free, vegetarian, vegan and Low Fodmap.
