    These are pretty, but not tempting to me. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, unless it's chocolate! :)

    So that's what cassata is!
    I remember vendors walking the beaches near Tel Aviv with a box slung over their shoulder, shouting "Cassata, cassata!" In Hebrew it referred to ice cream bars, I'm pretty sure.
    I live your version better, so pretty.

    Dina - You are right. That is why we specify cassata siciliana: cassata is the ice cream...
