Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the bowl
3 pints cherry chocolate chip ice cream, softened
3 pints mint chocolate chip ice cream, softened
3 pints chocolate chocolate chip ice cream, softened
1/2 of a 10-inch angel food cake, cut into 1/2-inch slices
4 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • For the ice cream center: Spray a 4 1/2- to 5-quart metal bowl with nonstick spray and line with plastic wrap. Create a first layer using the softened cherry chocolate chip ice cream, then freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Add the softened mint chocolate chip ice cream for the second layer and freeze again for 30 minutes.
  • Add the softened chocolate chocolate chip ice cream for the third layer, then top with a layer of angel food cake. Cover in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
  • For the meringue: Using a stand or electric hand-held mixer, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and whisk again. With the machine running, add the sugar a little at a time and whisk until the meringue is glossy and forms stiff peaks.
  • Remove the ice cream bomb from the freezer and take off the plastic wrap on top. Turn out the frozen ice cream and cake onto a plate so that the cake layer is in contact with the plate and you have a dome.
  • Remove the plastic wrap from the dome and cover with the meringue, making peaks. Brown with a kitchen blowtorch and serve.
