watermelon pie: fun summer dessert

looks like watermelon
tastes like summer
frozen yogurt/sherbet deliciousness...

ingredients:
lime sherbet - I couldn't find this, so i just added some green food coloring to some of the vanilla frozen yogurt
vanilla frozen yogurt
red/pink colored sherbet
mini chocolate chips

directions:
for each flavor, you'll let the sherbet/yogurt soften for a few minutes before using. the red sherbet should be mixed with the mini chocolate chips
use a round springform pan
starting with the lime, spread a ring of sherbet around the edge of the springform pan - about 2 inches high and 1-2 inches wide from the outside edge of the pan
put pan in freezer to harden lime layer
repeat with the vanilla, making the layer much thinner. use a butter knife to flatten the top. put pan in freezer to harden again.
repeat with red/chocolate chip mix. filling the rest of the pan, then use a knife to flatten out again. freeze.

when its time to eat, run a knife around the edge of the pan before popping off the outside of the springform pan. use a nice thin-blade knife to slice.
enjoy!
