This Christmas ice cream bombe goes through three layers of delicious ice cream. The first is a whipped cream ice cream layer, then a creamy chocolate ice layer and finally a stracciatella ice layer. The bottom is made of coffee cookies and the bombe is decorated with pomegranate, cranberries and cocoa.
As promised, now a couple of delicious bake and dessert recipes in a row. To start a Christmas ice cream bombe. Sinfully delicious and very easy to make. And I will be quite honest, this ice cream I bought in the supermarket. Of course you can make it yourself, and later this week I'll post a delicious homemade ice cream recipe, but the bombe has already so many directions that I didn't choose that option. I chose three delicious ice creams in flavors whipped cream, chocolate and stracciatella, but you can of course vary endlessly. And then it needs especially waiting time and a little patience. But patience is rewarded, I promise.
Because...
- you want to unload the ice easily, line the glass bowl with plastic wrap.
- you form ice cream into a bombe, you take it out of the freezer about 15 minutes before use.
- the bombe is almost entirely made of ice cream, you take it out of the freezer about 15 minutes before serving out of the freezer. Meanwhile sprinkle with cocoa (or other decorations).
