Queen Elizabeth II was a fan of coffee. According to Darren McGrady, her personal chef for 15 years, coffee played a leading role in a decadent treat she liked sharing with guests.
An ice cream bombe is essentially ice cream molded into a dome shape using a bowl lined with plastic wrap, often with a layer of sponge cake or pie crust acting as a base.
He continued, "We did a bombe glacée coppelia, which was coffee ice cream filled with praline and decorated with whipped cream and liquor coffee beans."
The Queen also had a customized version, named Bombe Glacée Princesse Elizabeth, in her honor. It was made with strawberries grown specifically by palace staff inside a hothouse.
