Sherbet Watermelon

Name: Sherbet Watermelon
Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 8 servings.
Ingredients: About 1 pint lime sherbet, slightly softened; About 1 pint pineapple sherbet, slightly softened; About 1-1/2 pints raspberry sherbet, slightly softened; 1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

I usually double this recipe so I can have one dessert on hand for family and friends who stop by unexpectedly in summer. Each refreshing wedge comes complete with chocolate chip "seeds".

Ingredients

About 1 pint lime sherbet, slightly softened
About 1 pint pineapple sherbet, slightly softened
About 1-1/2 pints raspberry sherbet, slightly softened
1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Line a 1-1/2-qt. round metal bowl with plastic wrap. Press a thin layer of lime sherbet against the bottom and sides of bowl. Freeze, uncovered, until firm. Spread a thin layer of pineapple sherbet evenly over the lime sherbet layer. Freeze until firm. Pack raspberry sherbet into center of sherbet-lined bowl. Smooth the top to resemble a cut watermelon. Cover and freeze until firm, about 8 hours.
Just before serving, remove bowl from the freezer and uncover. Invert onto a serving plate. Remove bowl and plastic wrap. Cut into wedges; press a few chocolate chips into the raspberry sherbet section of each wedge to resemble watermelon seeds.

This is so refreshing in the summer, and the kids love to help make it. Personally, I prefer the creaminess of vanilla ice cream in place of the pineapple sherbet, but it's great as written also.
