Looking for a "Watermelon Ice Cream?" Recipe

[pamperedpals]

Okay, ladies (& gent's) I need your help. I had a guest at my show on Friday, looking for a recipe that was like watermelon ice cream and the seeds were actually chocolate chips.

Does that ring a bell with anyone. It sound vaguely familiar to me. I think it was made in the batter bowl. I haven't had a chance to look through my recipe files from the early 90's.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

There was something called the Watermelon Bombe. It was sherbet (lime, pineapple and raspberry), layered in the batter bowl to make a watermelon-like dessert. I don't remember what book it was in.

Actually, now that I think about it, that recipe may have been on the use and care card for the batter bowl a long time ago.

Found it!Watermelon Bombe1 quart lime sherbet
1 pint lemon or pineapple sherbet
1 1/2 to 2 quarts raspberry sherbet
chocolate chips (no qty. given on my copy)Press lime sherbet into Classic Batter Bowl, covering sides and bottom. Return to freezer until very firm.
Repeat for lemon sherbet. Freeze.
Mix a few chocolate chips into raspberry sherbet and fill cavity with it. Freeze until very firm.
Invert Batter Bowl on top of serving plate and wrap a warm, wet towel around it to loosen the sherbet. Slice in "watermelon" wedges to serve.Makes 14-16 servings.
