Bombe Alaska’s are such a theatrical dessert. Combining our tangy Blood Orange and Dark Chocolate not only provides a visually spectacular element to the dessert but also cuts through the soft and fluffy casing of meringue.
Serves: 1
Preparation: 50 minutes
Cooking: 10 minutes
Difficulty: 5/5
INGREDIENTS:
- 180gms of sugar
- 100ml of water
- 3 Large Eggs
- Handful of mint leaves removed from the stem
- 3 Scoops of Gelista Blood Orange & Dark Chocolate Gelati
- 3 Chocolate ripple cookies
- 15ml of vodka or brandy
METHOD:

- Wrap the Gelati with the plastic wrap to form a ball shape and place into the freezer.
- Add mint leaves and water together in a blender.
- Add blended mix and sugar into saucepan, bring to boil then put on medium heat for 4 minutes.

- With the egg beater still going slowly pour the mint and sugar syrup.
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Continue beating mixture until it becomes a thick, glossy & firm meringue.
- Roughly hand crush chocolate cookies and put them onto a plate to form a 1cm thick base for the Bombe Alaska. It should be chunky bits as opposed to a powder.
- Remove the gelati from freezer, unwrap and place onto the cookie base. Flatten the gelati slightly onto the cookie base.
- Fill piping bag with the meringue and pipe the entire dessert from the bottom to top ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the whole dessert in the oven for 10 minutes.
