A '''knickerbocker glory''' is a layered [[sundae|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]].<br />
<br />
The ''knickerbocker glory'', first described in the 1920s,<ref name=":0">{{cite web |title=Knickerbocker Glory |url=https://www.foodsofengland.info/knickerbockerglory.html |website=Foods of England |access-date=21 April 2025}}</ref> 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]], [[chocolate]], nuts, [[whipped cream]] and often a [[cherry]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Liddell |first1=Carolyn |last2=Weir |first2=Robin |title=Frozen Desserts: The Definitive Guide to Making Ice Creams, Ices, Sorbets, Gelati, and Other Frozen Delights |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GCv8bPNMTNUC&pg=PA29 |publisher=St. Martin's Griffin |year=1996 |pages=29, 33, 185 |access-date=14 August 2011 |isbn=978-0-312-14343-5}}</ref> 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.<ref name=":1">{{cite web |title=The Nibble: Different Ice Cream Types |url=https://www.thenibble.com/reviews/main/desserts/ice-cream-definitions-n.asp |website=thenibble.com |access-date=10 March 2021}}</ref><br />

==History and etymology==<br />
An early form of the knickerbocker glory is believed to have originated in [[New York City]] in the early 1900s.<ref>{{cite web |title=Practicing Dessert Awareness: The Knickerbocker Glory |url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/practicing-dessert-awareness_b_4383014 |website=HuffPost |date=10 December 2013 |access-date=10 March 2021}}</ref> The name ''[[wikt:Knickerbocker|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.<ref name=":2">{{cite web |title=etymology – Origin of the name 'Knickerbocker Glory'? |url=https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/292221/origin-of-the-name-knickerbocker-glory |website=English Language & Usage Stack Exchange |access-date=10 March 2021}}</ref> 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.<ref name=":2" /> At some point in the 1920s, the dish was introduced into the [[United Kingdom]], where it attained wide popularity.<ref name=":0" /><br />
