National Raspberry Bombe Day is observed worldwide every August 11 to celebrate the delicious frozen dessert known as the raspberry bombe. This dessert, which originated in French cuisine, is a molded ice cream treat that can consist of multiple layers of ice cream with various flavors and ingredients, including raspberry puree, cream cheese, and heavy cream. The bombe is believed to have been perfected by French chef Auguste Escoffier in the early 1880s, and his cookbook, La Guide Culinaire, features over 60 bombe recipes. To commemorate the day, people often indulge in raspberry bombes from local bakeries, make the dessert at home, or host French-themed dessert parties. While the origins of National Raspberry Bombe Day are unclear, it is a delightful occasion for dessert lovers to enjoy this unique treat.
