How to make a Bombe

Print Recipe Card   

Directions

Basic Steps for Bombes:

1. Lightly oil the inside of the bombe mold (or large glass bowl or individual molds or bowls) and place in the freezer until thoroughly frozen.
2. Line the chilled molds with ¾-inch layer of softened ice cream, sherbet or sorbet. Use a spoon dipped in hot water to create an even layer. (note: if the ice cream gets too soft, refreeze it until it firms up a bit).
3. Continue the layering process, adding more flavors and freezing the bombe for 20 minutes before adding the next layer. When complete, level the surface smoothly. Freeze at least 4 hours until hard.
4. To unmold the bombe, quickly dip the mold in hot water and invert onto a chilled serving platter.
5. Slice and serve.
