Knickerbocker Glory

It is a layered ice cream sundae served in a tall glass, usually with fruit, sauce, and whipped cream. A classic version often combines vanilla ice cream with strawberries or raspberries and a topping such as a cherry, nuts, or meringue.

There is no single fixed recipe, but a BBC version by Mary Berry layers mango, blueberries, vanilla ice cream, raspberry coulis, whole raspberries, and pistachios. The dessert is assembled directly in a tall sundae glass rather than baked. [BBC Food](https://git.macropus.org/bbc-food/www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/knickerbocker_glory_59895.html)

Its defining feature is the visible layering of fruit, ice cream, and toppings in a tall conical glass. It is traditionally eaten with a long spoon, and the layers make it more visually elaborate than a basic scoop-and-sauce sundae. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knickerbocker_glory)

The dessert was first described in the 1920s, but its exact origin is not completely settled. One historical account links an early form to New York and the Knickerbocker Hotel before the dessert became especially popular in Britain. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knickerbocker_glory)
