DB: I scream bombe!


The July 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Sunita of Sunita’s world – life and food. Sunita challenged everyone to make an ice-cream filled Swiss roll that’s then used to make a bombe with hot fudge. Her recipe is based on an ice cream cake recipe from Taste of Home.


I simply knew! I knew sometime around summer there would be an ice cream challenge!
Thank you so much Sunita for this very daring challenge.

The flavors I used were mint ice cream with chocolate bits and cookies n' cream....yum!
I actually wanted to try making fresh mint ice cream but fresh mint leaves were no where to be found so I used natural peppermint extract.

I absolutely loved the flavors, and it looks sooo impressive!
Though it takes quite some time making two ice creams in a row, definitely one of the more challenging challenges.


Over all great challenge, can't wait for next month!

Tiny side note:
As you may have noticed I've not been posting at all lately except for the DB challenges and I'm afraid that's going to stay the case for the next few month.
I'm still baking regularly I just can't find the time to sit down and write a post, so lots of recipes are in back up and hopefully I'll be able to share them with you soon!
