Ice bomb

Kaiser Wilhelm Ice Bomb (illustration from around 1900 by Georg Ritzer, painter from Munich)

An ice cream bomb is an ice cream dish with a shell made of ice cream and a special, flavored filling. Ice bombs have a typical, hemispherical shape and are often lavishly decorated - similar to cakes. Ice bombs are also available as commercial goods, but then only consist of layers of different, industrially produced types of ice cream.

Manufacturing

To make it, an ice bomb mold or round bowl is strongly cooled, lined with ice cream at least a centimeter thick and then frozen again. For the ice cream bomb mass, egg yolks are first whipped over low heat with sugar syrup, cold whipped, flavored with fruit puree, chocolate, liqueur or other depending on the recipe and then topped off with whipped cream. Finally, the mixture is poured into the mold and everything is frozen thoroughly.
