Gelato and Chocolate Shell

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gelato Layers

    In a large bowl, layer the chocolate, strawberry, and pistachio gelato in that order, smoothing each layer evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

  2. 2

    Make the Chocolate Shell

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Bomba

    Remove the gelato from the freezer and scoop the layered gelato into a bowl or mold to form a dome shape. Pour the chocolate shell mixture over the gelato and immediately sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Return to the freezer for at least 1 hour to set.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once set, carefully remove the spumoni bomba from the mold. Slice into wedges to serve. Enjoy!
