CHOCOLATE CHERRY BOMBE

Steps:

• Line a 1 1/2 quart glass or stainless bowl with plastic wrap, leaving enough excess hanging over the edge, and stick it in the freezer.
• In a medium pot, combine the cherries, 1 cup of sugar, lemon juice, kirsch, and 3/4 cup of water. Simmer over medium-high heat until the juice from the cherries is released and the fruit is soft, about 20 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry and add it to the cherry mixture. Simmer, stirring, for another 2 minutes to thicken. Remove the cherry sauce from the heat, you should have about 4 cups. Put the cherry sauce in the freezer or in an ice bath to chill until cold.
• Using a wire whisk, beat 2 cups of the heavy cream, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and vanilla together until soft peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into half of the cherry mixture (2 cups) to make a light mousse - don't overdo it, it's ok if there are streaks of cream in the filling. Gently fold in the pistachios. Take the plastic-lined bowl out of the freezer and spoon the cherry mousse into it, filling it all the way to the top, and spreading evenly around the rim. Freeze again for at least 8 hours, so the mousse sets up firm.
• Heat the remaining 1 cup of cream and the chocolate in a pot over medium-low flame. Stir to melt the chocolate completely and smooth it out into the cream. Cool until warm to the touch, the chocolate should still be pourable.
• Take the bowl of cherry mousse out of the freezer and invert it, bottom-side up, on a wire rack set over a sheet pan. Carefully peel off the plastic and pour the chocolate ganache over the bombe to cover it completely, allowing the excess to drip down into the sheet pan. Stick the chocolate cherry bombe back in the freezer to chill. Using a couple of flat spatulas, carefully remove the bombe from the rack and put in on a chilled platter. Cut into wedges; serve with the reserved cherry sauce.

MOZARTBOMBE (CHOCOLATE CHERRY BOMBE)

Steps:

• To make the cake, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 6-cup bombe mold or metal bowl and coat it with the bread crumbs. Set aside.
• Place the eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt and lemon zest in a double boiler or in a metal bowl over hot water and whisk constantly until light and creamy. Remove from heat and continue whisking until cool.
• Fold in the flour and gently stir in the butter. Scrape the batter into the prepared mold and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool.
• To make the filling, coarsely chop the cherries. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of the cherry syrup. Place the remaining syrup in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce by half, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the cornstarch mixture and boil 1 minute more. Stir in the rum and cherries. Let cool completely. Whip the cream to stiff peaks, setting aside 1/2 cup.
• To assemble, unmold the cake and use a serrated knife to cut it into 5 horizontal layers. Place the small cake layer with the rounded side back into the mold. Spoon some of the cherries and syrup over the cake and spread with some of the whipped cream.
• Continue putting the cake back together, filling with the cherry mixture and whipped cream between each layer. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
• To make the glaze, bring the cream to a boil, remove from heat, add the chocolate and stir until melted. Cut out a round piece of heavy cardboard to fit the diameter of the cake. Dip the mold into hot water and invert the bombe onto the cardboard. Use the reserved whipped cream to spread a very thin layer over the outside of the bombe. Place in the freezer just until the cream is quite firm.
• Place the bombe on a rack and ladle the chocolate glaze over it so that it's well covered. Place the bombe, with the cardboard, on a serving plate and use the sliced almonds to make a 2-inch border along the bottom of the bombe, hiding the cardboard. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
