Watermelon Bombe Cake
- 1.5 quarts lime sherbet
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 6 cups raspberry or classic sherbet swirl
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- green and red food coloring
- Wrap the inside of a metal bowl, that holds about 12 cups, in plastic wrap. Get all of the sides so none of the ice cream touches the metal.
- Place the bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- With an electric mixer, beat the lime sherbet on high until it's soft enough to spread. Add in a few drops of green food coloring if you prefer it stronger in color.
- Spread an even layer of the lime sherbet in the metal bowl with a spatula, but leave a dome shape in the middle to be filled with raspberry sherbet. Place the bowl back in the freezer for 20 min.
- Beat the vanilla ice cream on high until soft and then spread a thin, even layer over the lime sherbet. Place the bowl back in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
- Do the same steps with the raspberry sherbet, adding a few drops of red food coloring.
- Add in the chocolate chips and beat on high until the sherbet is soft.
- Fill the rest of the bowl with the raspberry or pink sherbet and place in the freezer, overnight, until it's completely hardened.
- When the sherbet is frozen, remove by turning the bowl upside down on a cutting board. Take off the plastic wrap and then slice your adorable watermelon sherbet bombe cake like a normal watermelon!
