Taste the Rainbow
The beauty of this dessert is that once you cut into it, you are presented with a striped, rainbow-like confection. Choose flavors and colors that will impress, such as strawberry, mango, and vanilla.
The hues will delight even before the first bite!
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place a piece of plastic wrap on the inside of an 8–9 bowl. Press 4 cups of chosen sorbet into the center and up the sides of the bowl, leaving a hollowed-out space in the center. Place a slightly smaller bowl into the hollow, and freeze until set, roughly 30–45 minutes.
2. Remove bowls from freezer and remove the smaller bowl from the center. Into the bowl-shaped hollow, add your second sorbet, spreading and pressing it just as you did the first. Again, fill the hollow with an even smaller bowl, and freeze for 30–45 minutes.
3. Take both bowls out of the freezer once again, remove center bowl, and fill with remaining ice cream or sorbet. Cover tightly in plastic and return to freezer until ready to serve.
4. Just before serving, remove bowl from freezer, and turn out the frozen sorbet onto a plate, flat side down. Peel off the plastic and cut into serving-sized wedges.
