National Raspberry Bombe Day | August 11

#raspberrybombeday

Raspberry raspberries are ripening throughout August. That's why this is the third raspberry holiday in the month. Who doesn't love the sweet, juicy berry? And they're even better frozen into a delectable dessert, making them even more popular.

A typical bombe contains sherbet, heavy cream, sugar, chopped nuts, candied fruit, and a dash of rum. The dessert is layered with a spherical mold and frozen overnight, and is stored in the freezer. The result creates a stunning centerpiece with raspberries as the main ingredient.

Make more than one raspberry bombe since one raspberry bush can produce many hundred berries per year. That way, you can celebrate two days in a row or share with a friend. While the raspberry bombe is already an eye-catching dessert, try adding rose petals to the finished product. Why? Why? They'll be a conversation starter. The raspberries are in the rose family's genus Rubus.
