  1. To prepare the Bombardino, first whip the cream until stiff with electric whips, adding the sugar in two batches. Then transfer it to the inside of a sac à poche with a wide, starred nozzle and set aside.
  2. Pour the Vov into a small saucepan and heat it for about 5 minutes over medium heat, at which point add the Brandy and turn off the flame. Swirl the saucepan for a few moments so that the two liquors mix and distribute to the glasses. Top with whipped cream and your Bombardino is ready to be enjoyed!

Tips

The special feature of Bombardino is precisely that it should be served warm, so always whip the cream before heating the liquors in the saucepan.

Storage

The Bombardino should be prepared and served on the spot, so we do not recommend storing it.
