This is really a fun dessert. Form this into a mold and serve it with a cookie on the side. If you don't have time to prepare the mango sorbet, Häagen-Dazs makes a good one, and believe me, your friends will have just as much fun. The good news is that you can make this ahead of time. I serve it with fresh raspberries and raspberry sauce.
Ingredients
Serves 8
Step 1
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), press it into the sorbet to make the layer even. Remove the smaller bowl and freeze for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Spread an even layer of softened raspberry sorbet on top of the mango sorbet (a 4 1/2-inch nesting bowl helps with this) and freeze for another 30 minutes. Finally, spoon in enough softened strawberry ice cream to fill the bowl. Freeze until hard.
Step 3
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.
To soften sorbets, put them in the microwave just until they're spreadable.

Back to TopAmazing presentation every time! Super easy to put together. I served it at a summer birthday party along with Dr. Pepper cake (from the Dinosaur BBQ, Syracuse, NY) and the two went really well together.

my bombe fell apart when i tried to take it out of the bowl it was frozen in. other than that, this recipe is a keeper! delicious and easy to make. i used vanilla ice cream instead of strawberry as my guests are not fans, and it turned out wonderfully.

So easy and beautiful to serve. Have used all ice cream layers and done as a Baked Alaska but original is more refreshing.
