Bombe Petit Duc

Chef Juliette

Bombe Pompadour

Chef Juliette

Asparagus turns sweet and satin-smooth around a pomegranate pâte à bombe, a cold jewel of the French canon whose daring works only when both layers are tasted before freezing.

Bombe Prophète

Chef Juliette

Strawberry ice outside, pineapple ice within, and no custard between them: Bombe Prophète teaches the clean architecture of a molded frozen dessert, where bold sweetness and patient layering preserve two distinct fruits.

Bombe Richelieu

Chef Juliette

Bombe Richelieu sets rum ice around a coffee pâte à bombe, a formal frozen dessert made practical at home by one patient shell, one silky filling, and a very long freeze.

Bombe Rosette

Chef Juliette

Bombe Rosette hides red-currant Chantilly and whole scarlet berries beneath a smooth vanilla shell, a frozen celebration whose success rests on cold fruit, an even lining, and a gentle fold.

Bombe à la Royale

Chef Juliette

Bombe à la Royale

Kirsch ice forms a fine, bright shell around chocolate-praline pâte à bombe, a frozen celebration of contrast where the lightest chemise protects, rather than smothers, the creamy centre.

Bombe Santiago

Chef Juliette

Bombe Santiago

A cold lesson in structure: Cognac-scented ice forms the clean outer shell, pistachio pâte à bombe makes the silken heart, and three patient hours in the freezer let both release in one handsome slice.

Bombe Sélika

Chef Juliette

Bombe Sélika

Praline ice holds a pale Curaçao pâte à bombe at its centre, a frozen lesson in temperature: whip the yolks to a ribbon, cool them completely, then fold in cream without losing the air.

Bombe Skobeleff

Chef Juliette

Bombe Skobeleff

Vodka ice encloses Kümmel Chantilly in a frozen bombe where measurement is technique: pack the mould firmly, freeze it longer than seems necessary, and unmould a pale, spirit-scented celebration.

Bombe Strogoff

Chef Juliette

Bombe Strogoff

A pale-gold Champagne pâte à bombe enclosed in vivid peach ice, frozen into a clean dome: the celebration dessert that teaches temperature, density, and the quiet art of clothing a mould.

Bombe Succês

Chef Juliette

Bombe Succês

Apricot ice forms the bright shell; inside, Kirsch Chantilly stays soft and pale around jewel-like candied apricot dice. The triumph is structural: clean slices, supple cream, no heaviness.

Bombe Sultane

Chef Juliette

Bombe Sultane

Dark chocolate ice around a light praline pâte à bombe centre, where pounded Pralin goes in last so the frozen mousse keeps its lift and the shell cuts cleanly.

Bombe Suzanne

Chef Juliette

Bombe Suzanne

A blush-pink rum ice gives way to vanilla pâte à bombe and garnet currant veins, a moulded celebration dessert whose elegance rests on one thin, completely frozen shell.

Bombe Tortoni

Chef Juliette

Bombe Tortoni

Praline ice forms the satin shell, coffee pâte à bombe fills the heart, and finely crushed coffee seeds give the quiet crunch that makes this frozen Parisian bombe unmistakably Tortoni.

Bombe Tosca

Chef Juliette

Bombe Tosca

Bombe Tosca turns three frozen textures into one celebration: tart apricot ice, a rich Maraschino fruit pâte à bombe, and lemon ice laid over the turned-out dome before it reaches the table.

Bombe Trocadéro

Chef Juliette

Bombe Trocadéro

Orange ice holds careful layers of Curaçao-soaked hazelnut Génoise and vanilla Chantilly, a Parisian bombe whose clean slice depends on an even shell and a properly frozen mould.

Bombe à la Valençay

Bombe Vénitienne

Chef Juliette

Bombe Vénitienne

A half-vanilla, half-strawberry shell encloses a silk-soft Maraschino and Kirsch pâte à bombe. Freeze each coloured half before the next, and every slice reveals the discipline.

Bombe Victoria

Chef Juliette

Bombe Victoria

Strawberry ice forms the vivid shell, while vanilla-rich glace Plombière carries kirsch-soaked candied fruit within. Drain the fruit fiercely, because stray syrup separates a clean slice from a soft centre.

Bombe Zamora

Chef Juliette

Bombe Zamora

Coffee ice forms the bitter, fragrant shell; Curaçao pâte à bombe fills it with orange-scented richness. The lesson is temperature: freeze each layer firmly, then unmould with a warm cloth and confidence.

Preparation for Iced Fruit Mousses

Chef Juliette

Preparation for Iced Fruit Mousses

Mousses glacées aux fruits teach the no-churn grammar of frozen dessert: one part cold syrup, one part pure fruit, two parts very stiff Chantilly, folded lightly and frozen before the air can fall.

Preparation of Iced Mousse with Cream

Chef Juliette

Preparation of Iced Mousse with Cream

A stone-cold crème anglaise, real cream, and patient whisking over ice become a pale, airy frozen mousse, proof that temperature, not force, is what lets this classical dessert hold its lift.

Various Iced Mousses

Chef Juliette

Various Iced Mousses
