- 40 g cacao powder, sifted dark
- 125 g castor sugar
For the strawberry/cherry ice cream:
- 400 ml First Choice Strawberry Velvet, chilled

For the chocolate brownie crust:
- 125 g First Choice Butter, melted
- 100 ml soft brown sugar

- 80 g dark chocolate, chopped
- 125 ml self-raising flour
- 30 ml dark cacao
To serve:
- 160 g dark chocolate, melted
- long stem cherries
- chocolate shards
Preparation method:
For the chocolate ice-cream:
- Whip the cream to soft peaks and add the sifted cacao and castor sugar - whip to incorporate the cacao and sugar.
- Then fold in the First Choice Yoghurt. Place in the freezer for a few hours.
- For the First Choice Strawberry/Cherry Velvet Ice-Cream
- Whip the First Choice Strawberry Velvet until light and frothy. Place in the freezer for a few hours.
For the chocolate brownie crust:
- Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a 22 cm diameter round cake tin with baking paper.
- Combine the melted First Choice Butter, brown sugar and dark chocolate in a small saucepan on low heat and stir until the chocolate has melted. Remove from the heat and cool a little.
- Sieve together the self-raising flour, cacao and the salt.
- Add the eggs to the cooled chocolate mixture and mix well.
- Add the sifted flour mixture and mix to make the batter.
- Spoon into the prepared cake tin and bake for about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
For the bombe:
- Freeze a 20 cm diameter dome-shaped glass bowl. Take the chocolate ice-cream out of the freezer and allow to soften a little. Spoon the chocolate ice-cream into the frozen bowl.
- Press it against the sides of the bowl. Cover a 16 cm diameter dome-shaped bowl with cling wrap and press it into the ice-cream to make the layer even. Freeze for 30 minutes or until firm and remove the 16 cm bowl.
- Remove the First Choice Strawberry Velvet ice-cream from the freezer and allow to soften a little.
- Swirl the First Choice Cherry Dessert Topping into the ice-cream to give a marbled look. Spoon the strawberry/cherry ice-cream into the chocolate ice cream to fill the bowl and freeze until hard.
- Cover with the brownie crust (you can cut it to fit the bowl). Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Unmould onto a flat serving plate.
- Drizzle generously with the melted chocolate and decorate with the cherries and chocolate shards.
