Every year for my husband's birthday, he requests the same dessert referred to as a bomb. It consists of layers of ice cream made in an inverted bowl. I add some type of cake or cookie layer for a base and coat it in one or two different icings/ganaches/whipping cream. If I don't sound too enthusiastic, it's cuz i am most certainly not. It takes very little time, minimal skill and because it is nearly the same every year I feel unchallenged. But it's HIS day and what he wants...well, he gets. And I have to admit, even after all this whining on my part, that it is delicious and satisfying. It even looks like the centerpiece for a celebration. This year, the flavors were that of a banana split, based on a banana bread soaked with simple syrup and banana liqueur (so as not to freeze solid making the cutting dificult). I coated it with a milk chocolate glaze and sweetened whipping cream and mixed nuts.

I stared at that first picture with my mouth open for a good three hours. That looks delicious.
All right, I made the testimonials!
Wouldn't these be cute in miniature form? I need to get the molds and try it. If we meet for drinks, I could bring you one.
I think I just peed a little!
