- Total Time : 10 minutes
- Prep Time : 10 minutes
- Servings : 4
ingredients
- 1 2-inch slice from a whole watermelon
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1 pint lime sorbet
- 4 sprigs fresh mint or basil
directions
step 1 Cut a 2-inch slice from a whole watermelon. Remove the rind and any seeds. Place the slice flat on a cutting board. Press a 3-inch-round cookie cutter into the watermelon, and cut out four pieces. You should now have four 2-inch-high rounds of watermelon.
step 2 Scoop out the middle of each of the four rounds to make little bowls. You can use a melon baller or a regular spoon (you’ll remove about 4 Tablespoons).
step 3 Sprinkle lime juice over watermelon. Scoop 1/2 cup sorbet into the bowl of each watermelon, garnish with mint or basil and serve immediately.
chef's notesYou can make the watermelon cups up to 8 hours in advance, wrap them in Saran™ Premium Wrap and refrigerate.
Feel free to substitute your favorite sorbet flavor. Chocolate sorbet is also wonderful in this recipe.
Seedless watermelon is a good choice for these bowls. The bowls will have fewer gaps and will be less likely to leak.
If you prefer to purchase a halved or quartered watermelon instead of a whole one, cut 2-inch slices from the half or quarter and then use the 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut four 2-inch-high rounds.

My Comments:
A delightfully refreshing dessert with minimal cleanup required!
The cool sweetness of the watermelon and sorbet combination is just the thing for a hot summer night.
