Raspberry ice Cream Bombe

To make my raspberry ice cream bomb you're going to start by defrosting your raspberries for about two hours at room temperature

then add them to your stick blender pot or your blender pot followed by your three tablespoons of icing sugar

blend until you have a smooth puree then add your double cream or whipping cream to a large mixing bowl and beat on high until stiff peaks form

that gorgeous raspberry puree through a sieve and into your cream bowl because we don't want those

crunchy raspberry seeds running through your smooth velvety ice cream bowl. You can do this with a sturdy

spatula or the back of a large metal spoon and then just don't forget to scrape off all of that

lovely puree from the bottom of the sieve as well. Then you're ready to add in your fourth

and final ingredient your meringue nests. Just break them up in small pieces as you add them in. Then you're just going to fold it all together using

your spatula or a large metal spoon until everything is coated in the cream and that gorgeous bright

raspberry. So now we need to prep the bowl to put the bomb in you're going to need a deep

one litre bowl and you're going to layer that with a layer of foil and just press all the way around

so it takes the shape of the bowl and then you going to line that again with a layer of cling film this is all to stop the bomb from expanding and sticking to the bowl and so you can lift it out easily If you doubling the recipe you going to need a 2 litre bowl

Then just spoon in your bomb mixture. And when it's all in, just pick up the bowl

and give it a gentle shake side to side, back to front

just to get the bomb mixture to level out. Then cover as tightly as you can with a layer of cling film, followed by a layer of foil to stop that cling film ripping in the freezer

Then you're ready to freeze. You're going to want to freeze for at least eight hours, ideally overnight

Then you want to remove it from the freezer about 20 to 30 minutes before serve time because you need to be able to slice through it

To take it out of the bowl, you're going to remove the foil, the cling feel

and then you're going to lift up the cling film and just lift it out the bowl

Okay, then you just want to pull down the cling film slightly and transfer it onto a plate or a cake stand

and then remove the cling film completely. So you can leave it just like that to be super budget friendly

You don't even have to take it to the table. You can just cut people there serving in the kitchen and take it through

or if you want to create a show stopper, add some crem fresh to the top as I'm doing here and then

decorate with fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint
