Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup walnuts (2 1/2 ounces), toasted, cooled, and chopped
3/4 cup lightly crushed chocolate wafer cookies
3 pints cherry or cherry vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
1 pint chocolate ice cream, softened slightly
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (no more than 60% cacao), finely chopped
1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 maraschino cherry with stem
Equipment:
a 2- to 2 1/2-quart bowl (about 8 inches in diameter)

Steps:

  • Line bowl with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang all around.
  • Stir walnuts and chocolate cookies into cherry ice cream in another bowl. Transfer ice cream to lined bowl and spread evenly over bottom and up sides, leaving a crater in center. Freeze until firm, about 45 minutes.
  • Scoop chocolate ice cream into crater in cherry ice cream, then smooth top with an offset spatula. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, melt chocolate with butter and oil in a heatproof medium bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  • Invert bombe onto a rack set over a baking sheet and remove plastic wrap. Make a small indentation in top and place maraschino cherry into ice cream so that the cherry is submerged but stem sticks straight up (like a fuse).
  • Ladle chocolate sauce on top of bombe (avoiding cherry stem), letting it drip over sides to coat thoroughly. Freeze until chocolate coating is set, about 30 minutes.
  • To serve, cut into wedges.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of cherries, but I'm so glad I did! The cherries added a subtle sweetness and tartness that really complemented the chocolate.
