Maple Syrup Bombe Recipe
Put a folded paper napkin under the bombe, on the platter. This prevents any melting ice cream from spoiling the look of your dessert. Decorate it with whipped cream, nuts, fresh fruit, or caramel straws.
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 2/3 cup (160 ml) maple syrup, 3 egg yolks, 1/2 cup (125 ml) 35% cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 3 egg whites, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions: In a top of double-boiler, at low heat, simmer maple syrup and egg yolks, stirring constantly until mixture thickens. Remove from the heat. Stir until maple mixture cools, then add the nuts.
In mixing bowl, combine cream and vanilla extract. Whip well and set aside. In a separated bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, adding sugar when a beating is three-quarters done.
With a spatula, fold whipped cream into egg yolks and maple syrup, then gently fold in egg whites. Pour mixture into 4-cup (1L) plastic container. Freeze 8 hours.
Place the plastic container in hot water to unmold. Garnish with fruit and caramel straws.

Melt 1/2 cup (125 ml) of sugar and 2 teaspoons water. Simmer until the liquid turns golden brown. Dip a fork into caramel. Wave the fork back and forth over the saucepan, letting viscous string form, supported by the sides of the saucepan. These will harden in 2 minutes.
