History

It is not known for certain who and when founded this holiday.

It is believed this dessert came from the French: chefs experimented with frozen liquids of all kinds, and subsequently discovered the delicacy familiar to us. The first bomb recipe included biscuits and ice cream.

Chef Auguste Escoffier improved on the original; he came up with layering, where the custard layer creates a firmer and crispier structure.

Subsequently, the dish gained extraordinary depth and was served with pleasure at any event!
