Cassata Ice Cream Bomb

approx. 16 servings

Soak the dried fruit mixture with the liqueur – preferably a few hours before preparing the ice cream.

Pre-chill stainless steel bowl (approx. 5 l capacity) in freezer.

Defrost the straciatella ice cream.

Line stainless steel bowl with plastic wrap, press ice cream against sides of bowl.

There may be a tiny bit of ice left over.

Cover outside of an appropriate smaller baking bowl with plastic wrap and press into baking bowl lined with ice.

Place in freezer for 1-2 hours.

Remove small baking bowl, peel off foil and repeat procedure with chocolate ice cream.

Then whip egg whites with salt, juice of one lemon and sugar until very stiff. Whip the cream with sugar and cream stiffener (for purists it works without) until stiff.

Gently mix everything together.

Remove the smaller baking dish, remove foil from the chocolate ice cream. Pour cassata mixture into the cavity. Cover baking dish with foil and freeze for about 1 day.

Before serving, arrange the ice cream bomb on a large platter, top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.

You can save the cream coating if you want to reduce the “kitchen time” (while guests are there).

Variations: 1 layer each of vanilla ice cream and chocolate ice cream (vanilla on the outside), rum raisins additionally crushed Amarena cherries instead of the dried fruit (then it’s an Amarana ice cream bomb).

Tip: Do you prefer milk chocolate o
