Recipe Introduction
Serves: 12
Active: 30 Minutes
Total 10 Hours (Including Freezing)
List of Ingredients
1 5lb Baby Seedless Watermelon
1/2 Cup Sugar
Red and Green Food Coloring
1/2 Cup Light Corn Syrup
1/4 Cup Frech Lime Juice
1 pt. Lemon Sorbet
2 Tablespoons Mini-semisweet Chocolate ChipsRecipe
1. Halve watermelon lengthwise. Scoop out red watermelon flesh from both halves in chunks; reserve one hallowed-out watermelon half. Puree the watermelon flesh in blender with sugar, adding a few drops of red food coloring to deepen color. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in corn syrup and lime juice (you will have about 6cups); refrigerate mixture.
2. Using a small serrated knife and a large spoon, cut out and scrape all of the light green and whitish rind in the reserved watermelon half, without breaking through the outside rind, until all that's left is a watermelon "shell"; freeze the shell for at least 2 hours.
3. Slightly soften lemon sorbet and spoon into a bowl; fold in 1 or 2 drops green food color until sorbet is tinted the pale green color of a watermelon rind. Spread into frozen shell, re-creating the rind. Freeze for 2 hours.
4. Pour the chilled red watermelon mixture into an ice cream maker, in batched if necessary. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions; stir in mini-chocolate chips. Spread watermelon sorbet into shell to fill up to the inner edge of the lemon sorbet pressing down to pack it (freeze an extra in a small freezer container). Freeze several hours (if you plan to slice this after 4 hours) let watermelon half stand at room temperature 5 minutes before scooping.
