Today I’m participating in the Ultimate Blog Swap. You’ll find me posting over at Modern Alternative Mama about Crispy Baked Kale Chips, and I’m excited to welcome Melissa from Cajun Sugar Pie to Unsophisticook:
One of my favorite desserts to make during summer months is an ice cream bombe. They are so easy and make a great presentation for all your summer parties. Plus, there is NO baking involved, so you don’t have to worry about a hot kitchen!
A bombe is made by simply layering soft ice cream into a chilled mold and freezing each layer as you go. You can use ice cream or sherbet, and you can even add cake layers.
Today, I made a Neapolitan ice cream bombe with chocolate, vanilla, and cherry ice cream.
Ingredients:
- 3 flavors of ice cream
- plastic wrap
- 3 bowls in different sizes (nesting bowls work great)
Instructions:
- Freeze your bowls and dessert platter for at least an hour.
- Scoop one flavor of softened ice cream into the largest bowl. This layer will be on the outside or top when unmolded.
- Wrap the bottom of the next size bowl with plastic wrap and press down inside larger bowl making a mold with the ice cream.
- Cover and freeze for at least an hour.
- Remove smaller bowl and plastic wrap.
- Add another flavor of ice cream.
- Place plastic wrap around the bottom of the smallest bowl and press down.
- Cover and freeze for at least an hour.
- Remove smallest bowl and plastic wrap.
- Add last flavor of ice cream and smooth all layers flat.
- Cover and freeze for 6-8 hours or until firm.
- When you are ready to unmold the bombe, run a flexible knife along edges to loosen the ice cream. Turn upside down onto frozen dessert platter.
- Cover and freeze until ready to serve.
Hope you enjoy! I’d love for you to stop by Cajun Sugar Pie for more dessert recipes!

I love how easy this is to make! And I just bought an ice cream machine so I’ll have such a blast making 3 kinds of ice creams.

Way easier to make that you would think. Thanks for sharing!
What a fun idea! I’m going to have the kids make this over the weekend!

My mouth is watering. Maybe… someone could make one with vanilla and lime and sprinkle some sort of graham crust on the outer layer before serving? Key Lime Ice Cream bombe? And then serve it to me? :)
I’m not a big fan of ice cream but this looks really delicious. Thank you for the idea, I think my girlfriend will love it!
