WATERMELON BOMBE
Steps:
- Spray a 9.5-inch bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside. Turn an 8-inch bowl upside down and spray the outside with nonstick cooking spray. Cover the outside of the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside.
- Prepare the vanilla mousse mix with the whole milk in another bowl according to package instructions. (The milk amount is reduced from package instructions.) Pour the mousse into the lined 9.5-inch bowl. Place the smaller bowl inside and press gently to spread the filling up the sides of the bowl until just below the rim. Put the bowls in the freezer until firmly set, at least 4 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the watermelon cubes out onto the baking sheet in an even layer. Put in the freezer until frozen, at least 3 hours.
- Combine the frozen watermelon cubes, sweetened condensed milk and red food coloring in a food processor. Pulse to break up the watermelon cubes, then let the processor run until the mixture is smooth with a texture like soft serve ice cream. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in the mini chocolate chips.
- Remove the bowls from the freezer. Remove the smaller bowl, revealing a well in the frozen mousse layer. Transfer the watermelon mixture into the well and spread with an offset spatula so the watermelon is smooth and is level with the mousse layer. Place a 10-inch cardboard cake board on top of the cake. Cover with plastic wrap and put in the freezer until set, at least 4 hours or overnight. This can be done up to 2 weeks in advance.
- When ready to decorate, prepare the Watermelon Mirror Glaze. Fit a cooling rack into a baking sheet. Put 3 ramekins on the cooling rack so that the cake can be elevated over the rack. Remove the bowl from the freezer. Discard the plastic wrap covering the cake. Invert the bowl and remove the cake. (If you have trouble removing the cake you can place the bowl in warm water to help loosen it.) Place the cake on the ramekins on the cooling rack. Pour the green mirror glaze over the frozen cake, then squeeze on lines of the yellow mirror glaze. Put in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Combine the corn syrup and 1/3 cup water in a small pot and bring to a boil. Put the melon gelatin into a bowl. Pour the boiling corn syrup and water mixture into the gelatin and gently whisk until the gelatin is dissolved.
- Combine the white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk in a double boiler and heat, stirring frequently, until the white chocolate is just melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour the gelatin mixture into the white chocolate and condensed milk mixture and slowly stir until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Divide the glaze into 2 bowls, pouring 1/4 cup in one bowl and the remaining 3/4 cup in the second bowl. Add 1 drop of yellow gel food coloring to the bowl with 1/4 cup of the gaze and 15 drops of green gel food coloring to the bowl with the 3/4 cup of the glaze and mix until well blended. Transfer the yellow glaze to a squeeze bottle. Let sit until the temperature of the glaze is around 85 degrees F. Then it is ready to pour over the watermelon cake.
ICE CREAM BOMBE
Steps:
- Freeze an 8-inch bowl. When it's cold, place the mango sorbet in the bowl and press it against the sides of the bowl. If you have a 6 1/2-inch bowl the same shape as the 8-inch bowl (such as from a set of nesting bowls), cover it with plastic wrap and press it into the sorbet to make the layer even. Freeze the sorbet for 30 minutes or until firm. Remove the 6 1/2-inch bowl.
- Spread an even layer of softened raspberry sorbet on top of the mango sorbet (a 4 1/2-inch nesting bowl wrapped in plastic wrap helps with this) and freeze for another 30 minutes or until firm. Remove the 4 1/2 inch bowl.
- Finally, spoon in enough softened strawberry ice cream to fill the bowl. Freeze until hard.
- To unmold, dip the bowl up to the rim in warm water. Run a knife around the edge to loosen the bombe and unmold upside down onto a flat plate. You may need to run a flexible metal spatula along the edge of the bombe to release it. Freeze until ready to serve. Serve in wedges.
- Mango Sorbet:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 5 large ripe mangoes, peeled and seeded
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Place the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and cook until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
- Place the mangoes in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and puree. You should have about 5 cups of mango. If you want a smoother sorbet, you can process the puree through a food mill fitted with a medium blade.
- Combine the mango, sugar syrup, orange juice, and salt and refrigerate until cold. Freeze in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's directions. (The sorbet will be soft.) Serve directly from the ice cream machine.

Steps:
- Place a 7 1/2-cup capacity mold and one medium mixing bowl into freezer. Transfer all sorbets and ice cream from freezer to refrigerator until slightly soft, about 1 hour.
- Place black-currant sorbet into chilled mixing bowl. Stir to a spreadable consistency. Remove mold from freezer. Using a rubber spatula, coat the sides of mold with sorbet, making about a 1-inch-thick layer. Return mold and clean mixing bowl to freezer for 30 minutes.
- Place raspberry sorbet in chilled mixing bowl. Stir to a spreadable consistency. Remove mold from freezer. Pack raspberry sorbet over black currant, about 3/4-inch thick. Return mold and clean mixing bowl to freezer for 30 minutes.
- Place vanilla ice cream in chilled mixing bowl. Stir until spreadable. Remove mold from freezer. Fill remaining space with vanilla ice cream. Using a rubber spatula, smooth ice cream.
- To serve, place a serving plate upside down on top of the mold. Holding plate against mold, invert both. Place a hot wet kitchen towel over the mold. Remove the mold, and serve immediately, garnished with fresh berries.
LAYERED ICE CREAM PIE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Combine the cookie crumbs and butter and mix well. Firmly and evenly press the mixture over the bottom of a 3-inch-deep 10-inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes, until it's no longer warm to the touch.
- Spread the caramel sauce over the cooled crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Freeze for about 30 to 60 minutes, until set.
- Spread the chocolate ice cream over the caramel sauce in an even layer, then freeze for about for 30 to 60 minutes, until firm. (Freezing time depends on the quality of the ice cream and the freezer temperature.)
- Combine the vanilla ice cream and crushed candy bars. Spread over the chocolate ice cream in an even layer, then freeze for about 30 minutes, until firm.
- Spread a thin layer of chocolate sauce evenly over the vanilla ice cream, then freeze for about 30 minutes, until firm.
- Spread the coffee ice cream over the chocolate sauce in an even layer, then return to the freezer for about 30 to 60 minutes, until firm. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours before slicing.
- Remove from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving. Remove the springform pan sides, and slice into 12 wedges. If you like, serve additional caramel and chocolate sauce on the side.
- Time Management Advice from Pie Tester Kate Antea
- This pie will take about 4 hours to make. While one layer is freezing, the next ice cream is out softening, and a sauce can be made and cooled. My suggestion is to start by making the caramel sauce (which can be done a day ahead). While the sauce cools, make the crust. While the caramel is freezing, take the chocolate ice cream out to soften. When the chocolate layer goes in to freeze, take out the vanilla ice cream to soften and chop the candy bars. When the vanilla layer goes in to freeze, make and cool the chocolate sauce. When the chocolate sauce layer goes in to freeze, take out the coffee ice cream to soften.

Steps:
- Line a 9-inch diameter glass bowl with enough plastic wrap to hang over the edges by 6 inches (15 ¼ cm) all the way around. You may have to use more than one piece of plastic.
- Add the softened ice cream to a medium bowl. Mix with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
- Transfer the softened ice cream to the prepared glass bowl and smooth the top with a rubber spatula so the ice cream is about 1½ inches (4 cm) from the rim of the bowl. Reserve any leftover ice cream in the freezer. Gently press another piece of plastic wrap over the ice cream to prevent freezer burn and freeze for at least 8 hours, up to overnight.
- Make the vanilla cake: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch (23-cm) round cake pan with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
- In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, mix together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla.
- In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Beat with an electric hand mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
- Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and the egg yolks, beating between each addition. Continue beating until almost doubled in volume and very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- With the mixer on low speed, gently beat in a third of the flour mixture. Before it's fully combined, add half of the buttermilk mixture. Repeat with another third of the flour, the remaining buttermilk mixture, and the remaining flour and mix until well-blended and no lumps remain. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, rotating the pan halfway, until the cake is golden brown, pulling away from the sides of the pan, and the top springs back slightly when pressed. A cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. The cake should still be very warm, but cool enough to handle. Remove the cake from the pan and place pan-side down on a wire rack or cutting board. Slice the domed top off the cake and discard or save for another use.
- Remove the ice cream bowl from freezer and peel back the top layer of plastic wrap. Gently flip the cake upside down, placing the still-warm, cut side of the cake down on top of the ice cream. It should fit snugly inside the rim of the bowl. Gently press the cake down to ensure it makes full contact with the ice cream. Cover again with plastic wrap and return to the freezer for at least 6 hours, up to overnight.
- Remove the ice cream bowl from freezer. Fill a slightly larger bowl about ⅓ of the way with hot water. Carefully lower the ice cream bowl into the hot water, ensuring that the water line is well below the rim of the bowl so it doesn't spill over.
- Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet. Peel back the plastic wrap and carefully invert the ice cream bowl onto the center of the wire rack. Remove the bowl and plastic wrap.
- Using the hot water in the larger bowl, warm an offset spatula for a few seconds. Use the spatula to smooth out any creases in the ice cream left by the plastic wrap. The surface of the ice cream should be as smooth as possible. If there are any gaps between the ice cream and cake, fill in with the leftover ice cream. If the ice cream has started to melt at all, return to the freezer until completely frozen again, 1-2 hours.
- Make the chocolate glaze: Add the chocolate, butter, and corn syrup to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, whisking between, until completely melted. Whisk vigorously until glaze is smooth and glossy. Let cool to about 100°F (38°C), or just warm to the touch, before using.
- Pour the chocolate glaze directly over the top of the ice cream dome in one continuous pour, using a spatula to ensure the chocolate leaves the bowl quickly. Ensure the bombe is covered completely by swirling the chocolate in a 2-inch circle over the top center of the dome.
- Let the bombe sit at room temperature 5-10 minutes for the ice cream to soften slightly and the glaze to set, or place in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes. If serving more than 30 minutes later, return to the freezer, then let the bombe thaw at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!

ICE CREAM BOMBE CAKE
This is a unique birthday "cake" molded in a bowl, with a beautiful presentation. I rushed to get this recipe in by memory for a 'zaar chef who requested it so if there is anything that needs to be corrected, please let me know. The directions seem long but it really is very simple, and can be done in so many ways. For lower fat, use frozen yogurt or ice milk & sorbet/sherbet. Ideally, this should be made the evening before it is to be served.

Steps:
- Take one carton of ice cream out so it will soften.
- Using a large metal mixing bowl as the mold, lightly spray it with cooking spray to help when it's time to unmold.

- Using one entire quart of heavy/whipping cream, add almond extract and about 1/4 cup sugar.
- Whip it with an electric mixer until cream turns into the whipped cream.
- Now melt your chocolate chips in the microwave and immediately pour the still warm chocolate into cold whipped cream in a steady stream while mixing slowly with the mixer.

- Remove bombe from freezer and unmold onto a large plate or tray.
- Frost it with your cocoa whipped cream and lightly sprinkle the remaining oreo crumbs all over the frosting.
- Put back in freezer until ready to serve.
- (Take it out about 10-15 minutes before serving and cut into narrow wedges or slices with a wet knife)**Now here are suggestions for other ways to do this.
- Layer mousse instead of the whipped cream.
- Add cookies/brownies/fruit/berries instead of the oreo crumb mixture.
- Use alternating layers of vanilla ice cream and orange sherbet until bowl is filled for a pretty"striped" slice when it is cut and it will taste like a creamsicle.

ICE CREAM BOMBE
This is an Ina Garten recipe with some modifications. It is beautiful and delicious. Use what ever sorbet and ice cream combo that you like but be sure to keep the last (center) filling to some sort of ice cream. The best thing about this dessert is you can make it a few days before serving which frees you up to concentrate on the main course. If not serving the day you make it, leave it upside down and cover the bottom with plastic wrap to avoid freezer burn.
