History[edit | edit source]
The dessert is believed to have been created in the 19th century, during the reign of Napoleon III. It was named after the town of Plombières-les-Bains, which was a popular spa destination at the time. The dessert was reportedly served at the signing of the Treaty of Plombières in 1858.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
Plombières is made by macerating mixed fruits in liqueur, typically kirsch or maraschino, and then folding them into a custard-based ice cream. The fruits used can vary, but often include cherries, raspberries, currants, and apricots. The dessert is typically served in a glass dish or goblet.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are several variations of Plombières. Some versions use different types of fruit or liqueur, while others add additional ingredients such as nuts or chocolate. There is also a version known as Plombières aux marrons, which is made with chestnuts.
