Cold Desserts, Day 3

1. We had a lecure about classical ice cream desserts: bombes, baked alaska, souflee glacee, etc.

2. Each group had to make a large ice cream bombe. These are kind of old fashioned and strange, but they are classic. They are traditionally ice cream on the outside and bombe mix on the inside. Bombe mix is sabayone (egg yolk whipped with sugar) mixed with whipped cream. Ours was two layers, coffee ice cream on the outside and chocolate bombe mix on the inside with sponge cake on the bottom. I am not a huge chocolate fan, so this was ok but not my favorite.

Here is our half finished bombe:

Here are some other students bombes:

We will glaze them and finish them on Monday. These obviously aren't ours, but they give you an idea. I will take a picture of ours on Monday.


3. We also made mini baked alaskas. They are also two layers with sponge cake on the bottom. We went for tropical flavors and used our passion fruit yougart, from yesterday, for the inside. For the outside we made a coconut ice cream, which was really good.


Again I will get you finished pictures on Monday.

4. Finally we made sorbet syrup, to use on Monday. Sorbet syrup is basically sugar water, so that was quick.



Even with all of the bombes and baked alaskas being made the ice cream still seems to multiply!
