    Categories: Fruits, I scream, Nuts, Chocolate   
         Yield: 9 servings   
      
       3/4 c  Walnuts; toasted, cooled,   
              - chopped   
       3/4 c  Lightly crushed chocolate   
              - wafer cookies   
         3 pt Cherry or cherry vanilla ice   
              - cream; softened slightly   
         1 pt Chocolate ice cream;   
              - softened slightly   
         6 oz Bittersweet chocolate (no   
              - more than 60% cacao); fine   
              - chopped   
         4 tb Unsalted butter; in pieces   
       1/4 c  Oil   
         1    Maraschino cherry w/stem   
      
     EQUIPMENT: a 2 to 2 1/2 qt bowl (about 8" in diameter)   
      
     Line bowl with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang all   
     around.   
      
     Stir walnuts and chocolate cookies into cherry ice cream   
     in another bowl. Transfer ice cream to lined bowl and   
     spread evenly over bottom and up sides, leaving a crater   
     in center. Freeze until firm, about 45 minutes.   
      
     Scoop chocolate ice cream into crater in cherry ice cream,   
     then smooth top with an offset spatula. Freeze until firm,   
     about 1 hour.   
      
     Meanwhile, melt chocolate with butter and oil in a   
     heatproof medium bowl set over a pot of simmering water,   
     stirring. Remove from heat and cool slightly.   
      
     Invert bombe onto a rack set over a baking sheet and   
     remove plastic wrap. Make a small indentation in top and   
     place maraschino cherry into ice cream so that the cherry   
     is submerged but stem sticks straight up (like a fuse).   
      
     Ladle chocolate sauce on top of bombe (avoiding cherry   
     stem), letting it drip over sides to coat thoroughly.   
     Freeze until chocolate coating is set, about 30 minutes.   
      
     To serve, cut into wedges.   
      
     COOKSCÇÖ NOTE: Bombe keeps, loosely covered with plastic   
     wrap, 1 week.
