Ingredients
Ice Cream Layers
- 2 cup Pistachio Ice Cream
- 2 cup Vanilla Ice Cream
- 2 cup Strawberry Ice Cream
Mix-ins
- 1/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Place a 1-quart glass or metal bowl in the freezer for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly. This helps the ice cream layers freeze evenly.
- Soften the pistachio ice cream at room temperature for about 10 minutes, until slightly soft but not melting. This makes it easier to spread.
- Remove the chilled bowl from the freezer. Spoon the softened pistachio ice cream into the bowl, pressing it into the bottom and sides to form a thin, even layer.
- Freeze for 1 hour, or until the pistachio layer is firm.
- Soften the vanilla ice cream at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the freezer. Spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the pistachio layer, creating a smooth, even layer.
- Freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the vanilla layer is firm.
- Soften the strawberry ice cream at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Gently stir in the mini chocolate chips.
- Remove the bowl from the freezer. Spoon the chocolate chip-studded strawberry ice cream over the vanilla layer, filling the bowl completely. Smooth the top.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the bombe to freeze completely.
- To serve, remove the bombe from the freezer and take off the plastic wrap. Place a chilled serving plate over the bowl.
- Quickly invert the bowl onto the plate. Briefly wrap a warm, damp towel around the base of the bowl to release the bombe.
- If the bombe doesn't release easily, gently tap the bowl on the plate or reapply the warm towel. Return to the freezer for a few minutes if the ice cream starts to melt.
- Once unmolded, freeze the bombe for another hour to firm up. Slice into wedges and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- This dessert can be made days ahead and frozen until ready to serve.
- If you don't have chocolate chips, you can substitute with bits of chocolate cookies like Oreos.
- Use a sharp knife rinsed in hot water between slices to cut the bombe neatly.
- Make sure all plates and utensils are well-chilled or frozen to prevent the ice cream from melting quickly.
- For easier removal, line the bowl with plastic wrap (with overhang) before layering, but be aware this may leave wrinkles on the dessert.
Expert Tips
- For a more professional look, smooth the top layer of ice cream before freezing to create an even surface.
- Get creative with your layers! Try using different ice cream flavors, adding layers of crushed cookies or candies, or swirling in sauces.
- Let the bombe sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing to make it easier to cut.
Storage Instructions
- Store the ice cream bombe tightly wrapped in plastic wrap in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
