Use whatever bowls you have available as long as one fits nicely into the other. Please note that using a bowl larger than 10" for the outer layer will require more ice cream, and using a smaller bowl for the outer layer will require less. </p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p2">Prepare and bake the brownies according to package instructions, and let them cool. Cut them into even squares. Line your largest bowl with plastic wrap and cover the inside surface with brownie slices (there will be some left over). Cover with plastic wrap and place bowl in the freezer for 30-60 minutes (you can let your chocolate ice cream soften during this time). </p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p2">When the brownies are stiff, spread a layer of chocolate ice cream so that it covers the brownie surface. Press the smaller bowl into the ice cream so that it freezes in a dome-like shape. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 30-60 minutes (you can let the vanilla ice cream soften during this time). </p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p2">Remove the smaller bowl by filling it halfway with hot water and gently pulling it out. Fill the remaining hole with vanilla ice cream. Smooth the top so that the ice cream forms a flat base. Cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for about three hours or overnight.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p2">To serve, let the ice cream bombe sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes and flip the bowl onto a serving plate. You can also place a warm dishtowel around the bowl to help loosen the top layer. Dip your knife in hot water to cut and serve.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p2">MIX & MATCH:</p> <p class="p2">You can customize your ice cream bombe by using whatever ice cream flavors you like. Instead of using brownies for the outside layer, you can use candy bar slices, cookies, or just ice cream. Be sure to line the bowl with plastic wrap and freeze the top layer first so that it keeps a dome-like shape.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1"><span class="t4"> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="t4"> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="t4"> </span></p> <p class="p1">* * * * *</p> <p class="p1"><span class="t4"> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="t4">ABOUT THE AUTHOR</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="t4"> </span></p> <p class="p15"><span class="t18">A.
