Elegant Coffee-Coconut Ice Cream Bombe: The Ultimate Make-Ahead Dessert

A perfect slice of the finished Coffee-Coconut Ice Cream Bombe on a plate.

An easy, semi-homemade recipe for a sweet and salty frozen treat. The method involves simply softening a pint of store-bought ice cream, such as vanilla, ginger, or cinnamon, and mixing in chopped chocolate-covered pretzels. The mixture is then refrozen until firm and served with more pretzels on top for extra crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pint vanilla, ginger or cinnamon ice cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped chocolate-covered pretzels
  • More chocolate-covered pretzels, for topping

Instructions

  1. Allow 1 pint of ice cream to soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  2. Transfer the softened ice cream to a large bowl.
  3. Use a spoon to mash in 1/2 cup of chopped chocolate-covered pretzels until evenly distributed.
  4. Cover the bowl and return the ice cream mixture to the freezer.
  5. Freeze until firm, typically 1 to 2 hours.
  6. Serve topped with more chopped chocolate-covered pretzels.

Notes

  • This recipe works well with vanilla, ginger, or cinnamon ice cream.
  • Soften the ice cream just enough to be mixable, but not melted, for the best results when refreezing.
