  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted

  • 1/2 cup dried currants
  • 1-2/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips

  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup whipping cream, sugar and egg yolks. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture reaches at least 160° and coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Refrigerate until chilled.
  • Fold in the hazelnuts, chopped candy bar and currants. Beat remaining whipping cream until stiff peaks form; fold into custard. Spoon into ice cream shell, spreading to completely cover the top. Cover and freeze overnight.
  • In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Cool. Remove bombe from the freezer and invert onto a serving plate. Remove bowl and plastic wrap.
