August is prime raspberry ripening month, which is why we celebrate the raspberry bombe as the summer begins to come to a close. A raspberry bombe is a layered dessert made of sherbet, heavy cream, candied raspberries, and chopped nuts in a spherical mold and frozen overnight. The raspberries give the bombe a beautiful pink hue and make it a beautiful centrepiece for a summer table. Spend the day exploring various recipes for raspberry bombes and the origins of the raspberries in your area.

August 11th is the day to celebrate a sweet and tangy summer dessert: the raspberry bombe!
