Okay, so these were suppose to be red, white and blue, but they are red, white and purple. Yes, I made this same mistake last year with this 4th of July dessert. Let’s just add poor memory to the list of my shortcomings. Mess up or not, these are a really fun idea.
Luckily, no one noticed that I was trying to pull off a red, white and blue theme. Everyone seemed to be enamored with the concept of these sorbet watermelon wedges—an unintentional slight of hand, but hey, it worked.
And nevermind the melt-y mess of a picture below. I did that on purpose, because sometimes I like my food photography to be more deconstructed.
To get you started, I took some step-by-step photos, so let’s do this. Hit the jump over to Brit + Co, (where I am a guest contributor), for the remainder of this post.
Sorbet Watermelon Wedges
Ingredients
- 1 small seedless watermelon
1 small seedless watermelon
- 6 oz. blueberry sorbet
6 oz. blueberry sorbet
- 10 oz. lemon sorbet
10 oz. lemon sorbet
- 14 oz. raspberry sorbet
Instructions
- Cut watermelon in half. Empty out flesh of melon, scraping down to the white rind as much as possible.
- Place blueberry sorbet in melon and, using an offset spatula, smooth to evenness. Repeat with the lemon and raspberry sorbet.
- Chill for an hour. Remove from freezer, slice and serve.
Such a fun concept, and I’m in love with the deconstructed photo!
Looks beautiful!!!!
You’re brilliant. That is all.
Melting ice ream shots are always my fave! You could add some chocolate chips to resemble seeds
The deconstructed photo is gorgeous! I love the sorbet idea, so fun!
I’m seriously in love with this! Keep the deconstructed shots coming! 🙂

I think they are beautiful (I don’t much like blue food)
These are gorgeous! I am repeatedly astonished by your creativity. 🙂
so absurdly gorgeous (per usual)!
umm this is amazing and fantastic. I love it… I love the melty picture too! I did the same thing with my 4th of July cake last year. Took it to our cookout and there wasn’t a fridge to put it in so it got all melted in the pics but I kind of like it like that! I will definitely be trying this!!
photo is gorgeous!
What a great recipe!!
I have been making a lemon ginger concentrate
This is too cute!!!! I will have to try this before summer is out!!
