Leftover Melomakarona Ice Cream Bombe Recipe
Total time 3 hr 15′ · 4 servings
Ingredients
Method
- Put the melomakarona in a food processor and blitz until they form a dough.
- TipIf your melomakarona aren’t very syrupy and the mixture is dry, add a little honey, bit by bit, until it’s sticky.
- Line a bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it in so it takes the shape of the bowl with no air underneath.
- Add the melomakarona dough in batches and press it against the bowl to line it, about half a centimeter thick.
- Fill the melomakarona shell with the vanilla ice cream, keeping a little dough aside to cover the ice cream at the end.
- TipLeave the ice cream out of the freezer for 10 minutes first, so it softens and fills the shell well.
- Put the ice cream bombe in the freezer for 2–3 hours, until both the ice cream and the melomakarona shell are firm.
- Before serving, lift the bombe out of the bowl, peel off the plastic wrap and turn it upside down onto a plate. Cut into portions and serve with a little honey and walnuts.
