A knickerbocker glory is a layered ice cream sundae that is served in a large tall conical glass, and to be eaten with a distinctive long spoon, particularly in Great Britain and Ireland.
The knickerbocker glory, first described in the 1920s,[1] may contain ice cream, cream, fruit, and meringue. Layers of these different sweet tastes are alternated in a tall glass and topped with different kinds of syrup, nuts, whipped cream and often a cherry.[2] The existence of these layers, which create red and white stripes, distinguishes the dish from a tall sundae and lends the knickerbocker glory its name.[3]
History and etymology
An early form of the knickerbocker glory is believed to have originated in New York City in the early 1900s.[4] The name knickerbocker (as it pertains to the dish) is thought to be named after the Knickerbocker Hotel in Manhattan. During the early 1900s, the hotel was pink-and-cream-colored, and well-known to the denizens of New York.[5] After it closed in 1920, a tall pink-and-cream colored dish was created in honor of the hotel and the word glory was appended to the name of the dish.[5] At some point in the 1920s, the dish was introduced into the United Kingdom, where it attained wide popularity.[1]
