This Restaurant Throws Chocolate "Bombs" At The Table So Everyone Gets A Perfect Bite Of Dessert
Listen. I've eaten a lot of wild and crazy and stupid-fun desserts during my one-and-a-half-year tenure at Delish. And yet I found myself yelling "THAT'S WILD" at the chef of Brooklyn's De Mole a few weeks back when he threw a flawless chocolate creation he'd just painstakingly put together onto a two-top table. The chocolate promptly smashed into innumerable pieces, spreading all its filling across the surface. This wild and crazy and stupid-fun dessert, my friend, is the "chocolate bomb."
The dessert begins by painting a partially inflated balloon with chocolate. For the (seasonal) key lime version of the bomb, edible gold is sprayed over the surface. The balloon is popped the minute the chocolate has hardened and chefs then begin to fill the remaining chocolate shell up.
By "fill the remaining chocolate shell up," I mean they pack the things with sorbets and sauces and fruits and crunchy nutty bits and the like. They pack it until it's ready to be served, at which point servers lay a barely perceptible plastic sheet across the table.

Once the sheet is laid, it is bombs away. The chocolate vessel is dropped from about a foot off the table to its demise, which results in an even portion of all the bomb's ingredients across the table.
What I'm trying to say is this dessert is nuts. And I L O V E D it.
Find it only at De Mole in Brooklyn, NY.
