RAINBOW SHERBET SURPRISE

Category: Frozen Desserts

1 pint raspberry sherbet
1 pint orange sherbet
1 pint lemon sherbet
1 pint lime sherbet

First layer: Line 2-quart bowl with plastic wrap so that wrap overhangs sides of bowl by at least 1 inch. Let raspberry sherbet stand on counter to soften for 5 minutes. Spoon sherbet into bowl, pressing it along bottom and sides of bowl so it forms smooth layer. Place bowl in freezer for 30 minutes to firm up sherbet.

Second layer: Let orange sherbet stand on counter to soften for 5 minutes. Use small spatula to smooth it over raspberry sherbet in even layer. Place bowl in freezer for 30 minutes to firm up orange sherbet.

Third layer: Repeat process with lemon sherbet.

Last layer: Let lime sherbet stand on counter to soften for 5 minutes. Spoon lime sherbet into bowl so that it comes to top. Smooth top and cover with plastic. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until ready to serve, up to 1 week.

Unmold and serve: Remove bowl from freezer and remove plastic from top. Gently tug at overhanging plastic lining to loosen sherbet. (If necessary, briefly dip bowl into hot water.) Place serving platter over bowl, invert bowl, and shake to release sherbet. Peel away plastic. Cut into wedges and serve. Serves 8
