Lemon-Raspberry Sorbet Cake
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus softened butter for the pan
- 3/4 cup finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies (about 15 cookies)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 pints lemon sorbet, slightly softened
- 3 pints raspberry sorbet, slightly softened
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- Cut a 24-by-6-inch strip of parchment paper.
- Butter the side of an 8-inch springform pan, then line the side with the parchment; the paper will extend above the rim of the pan so you can build a tall cake.
- Mix the crushed cookies, sugar and melted butter in a bowl until combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and about 1/4 inch up the side of the prepared pan.
- Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Scoop the lemon sorbet over the crust in small batches, packing it in with an offset spatula; smooth the top.
- Freeze until firm, about 45 minutes.
- Repeat with the raspberry sorbet and freeze until firm, about 45 more minutes.
- Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- Heat the cream in a small saucepan or in the microwave until barely simmering; pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let stand 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
- Remove the side of the springform pan and the parchment.
- Spread the chocolate mixture over the top of the cake and freeze until set, about 10 minutes.
- Serve immediately or cover and freeze for up to 2 days.
