Watermelon Bombe Dessert
This sherbet dessert looks like actual watermelon slices—complete with "seeds"—when cut. It is fun to eat and refreshing, too.—Renae Moncur, Burley, Idaho8 ServingsPrep: 20 min. + freezing
Ingredients
- About 1 pint lime sherbet
- About 1 pint pineapple sherbet
- About 1-1/2 pints raspberry sherbet
- 1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Directions

- lime sherbet against the bottom and sides of bowl. Freeze,
- uncovered, until firm. Spread pineapple sherbet evenly over lime
- sherbet layer. Freeze, uncovered, until firm. (Lime and pineapple
- sherbet layers should be thin.) Pack raspberry sherbet in center of
