Da Bombe

During spring break of last semester, Nora and I took the opportunity to bake an extravagant recipe. She found this recipe on the Sprinkle Bakes blog, and we thought we'd give it a try: http://www.sprinklebakes.com/2012/12/chocolate-mousse-cookie-dough-bombe.html

This took us most of the afternoon, since there are so many layers! First, there is brownie base.

Then, you make cookie dough and use it to line a large bowl.

Chocolate mousse is next.

Then assemble the bombe!

While the dough and mousse were chilling, we made the ganache, which we then poured over the bombe.

And ta-da! The complete chocolate cookie dough mousse bombe.  

We didn't manage to get it to turn out as beautifully as pictured on the Sprinkle Bakes blog, but it was very delicious!
