Method
- Remove the chocolate ice cream from the freezer for about 15 mins, then spoon into a bowl. Mix in the raisins, pistachios and fudge. Spoon into an oiled 1 litre pudding basin, smooth the top and freeze for 1 hr until solid.
- To remove the pud, rub the bowl with a cloth dipped in hot water until loosened, then turn out onto a plate. Dust with 2tbsp cocoa and return to the freezer for 30 mins.
- Separately melt 40g white and dark chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, or in a microwave in 30 second blasts. Drizzle the chocolate over the top. Freeze.
- Remove from freezer 10 mins before serving. Add indoor sparklers for extra ooohs at the table!
You can play around with the flavour combinations in this bombe - strawberry ice cream with cherries, macadamia nuts and white chocolate chunks, for instance, gives it a lovely summery twist.
