RAINBOW SHERBET CAKE

Steps:

• Slice angel food cake crosswise to make four layers.
• Wash and dry the angel food cake pan, then line it with wax paper.
• Working quickly so the sherbet doesn't melt all over your kitchen, place the top layer of the cut cake back into the bottom of the pan and spread raspberry sherbet evenly on the cake.
• Repeat with remaining cake layers and lime and orange sherbets.
• Place cake and sherbet layers into the freezer for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
• When firm, run a knife heated in hot water between the pan and wax paper, then carefully tip the cake onto the serving dish, remove wax paper, and finish with final layer of cake: frost sides and top with whipped topping and place back in the freezer for 1 hour, until firm.
• Serve and enjoy!
• You can use whatever flavors of sherbet or sorbet you like - contrasting colors are nice - I've used lemon and mango, as well.

RASPBERRY AND CHAMBORD CREAM PARFAIT

Steps:

• COMPOTE:.
• In a small saucepan over medium low heat add raspberries, sugar, vanilla pulp, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Stir the mixture, occasionally, and cook until thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Cool completely.
• CHAMBORD CREAM:.
• Add icing sugar to the whipped cream and continue to whip it until it holds firm peaks.
• Fold in sour cream and Chambord. Fold 2 spoonsfull of the compote into the Chambord cream.
• ASSEMBLY:.
• Put a layer of Chambord cream into the bottom of 4 parfait glasses. (If you don't have parfait glasses be creative and use martini glasses or champagne flutes ~ you will have less per person ~ but you will be able to make more servings.).
• Add a layer of the raspberry compote and then repeat the process one more time, so there are 4 layers.
• Finish with a dollop of the cream and garnish with fresh raspberries, cookie and a sprig of mint, if using.

RAINBOW SHERBET SURPRISE

Spoon sherbet into bowl, pressing it along bottom and sides of bowl so it forms a smooth layer. Place bowl in freezer for 30 minutes to firm up sherbet.
