DEATH BY CHOCOLATE BOMBE

This is a truly decadent dessert. Tread with caution though as this is a very rich dessert (a heart attack waiting to happen - though you might think it was well worth it when you try this). A true chocolate lover's delight, but go easy - my brother-in-law had almost the entire bombe in one sitting and truly regretted the after effects.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 square BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
2/3 cup whipping cream
6 squares baker's white chocolate
2 tablespoons butter
2 eggs, separated
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup whipping cream
5 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate
2 tablespoons butter
2 eggs, seperated
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

Line a 6 cup (1. 5 L) mixing bowl with plastic wrap and drizzle inner surface with melted chocolate (criss-cross thin lines); freeze
WHITE MOUSSE: In a saucepan sprinkle gelatine over cream. Let stand 5 minutes.
Bring cream to a boil; remove from heat.
Add white chocolate and butter; stir until melted.
Blend in egg yolks.
Beat egg whites until frothy; gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
Fold into chocolate mixture; pour into prepared bowl.
Freeze 30 minutes.
DARK MOUSSE: Prepare the dark mousse layer following the white mousse directions, omitting gelatine step.
Freeze until set, at least 8 hours.
Unmould onto serving plate, remove plastic wrap.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better your bombe will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
Make sure your chocolate is tempered before using it. Tempering chocolate helps to stabilize it and prevent it from seizing. You can temper chocolate by melting it slowly over a double boiler or in the microwave, then cooling it slightly before using it.
Chill your bombe before serving. This will help it to set properly and make it easier to slice.
Garnish your bombe with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or whipped cream. This will make it look even more impressive and delicious.

Conclusion:

The Death by Chocolate Bombe is a show-stopping dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. It is rich, decadent, and sure to please even the most discerning palate.
