Knickerbocker glory
A knickerbocker glory is a very elaborate ice cream sundae that is served in a large tall glass, particularly in the United Kingdom. In the United States, the closest equivalent would be a parfait.
The knickerbocker glory was first described in the 1930s and contains ice cream, gelatin dessert (referred to as "jelly"), fruit and cream. Layers of these different sweet tastes are alternated in a tall glass and are topped with different kinds of syrup, nuts, whipped cream and often a cherry. Layers of meringue, fruit and even alcohol may be included but, as with an ice cream sundae, there is no precise recipe.
