A small serving of the cryptic, creamy "lilly with nuts" Italian ice. This traditional name — a more common rendition is "lily with the nuts" — might be derived from the color. It has nothing to do with the flavor, which partakes of vanilla, almond slivers, and perhaps almond or rum flavoring, too.
