- Comments: A bombe is a dessert made from softened ice cream or possibly sorbet which is layered inside a mold and refrozen, then unmolded and sliced before serving. In the Victorian period, the most popular molds for this dessert were spherical, or possibly bomb shaped. Antique molds can be fun to collect and use, but new molds are also available in an increasingly wide range of shapes and sizes. When making a bombe, work as quickly as possible to prevent the ice cream from developing ice crystals and turning gummy. Allowing your ice cream to soften a little in the refrigerator will make handling it easier.
