Chocolate Peanut Butter Sorbet Bombe

I must admit, the chocolate sorbet got the creative juices flowing. So, I began to think of a way that I could really use it in something spectacular. That got me remembering those Vienetta ice cream loaf treats that I used to see in grocery stores. They were made of ice cream layered together with crispy chocolate, so elegant, but also so incredibly expensive. Surely, I could come up with something like that or even better.

But, what type would I create? Hmm, well what better combo than chocolate and peanut butter? I decided that I would layer the sorbet with Nutter Butters and Butterfinger Snackerz candies. And so it began. I first lined a mini loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving enough to hang over the sides. Then, I slightly softened 2 cups of the chocolate sorbet and crushed some Nutter Butter cookies. I made a layer of chocolate sorbet in the pan, topped it with a layer of crushed cookies and then repeated the layers. I then put on a final layer of chocolate sorbet and topped that with a layer of Butterfinger Snackerz. Finally, I wrapped the top with the overhang from the plastic wrap and put it in the freezer to chill.

When it was nice and frozen solid, I took it out, sliced it, and marveled at all the beautiful layers.


It just looked so neat and it was also so easy to make. I can definitely imagine serving this to guests at the end of a nice dinner. My family was certainly impressed and we all enjoyed how good it tasted. I'm just tickled pink that my idea worked out.
