Watermelon cups with lime sorbet

10 minutes to make and so refreshing in the summer.
NEED:
1 2-inch slice from a whole watermelon
2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
1 pint lime sorbet
4 sprigs fresh mint or basil

Cut a 2-inch slice from a whole watermelon. Remove the rind and any seeds. Place the slice flat on a cutting board. Press a 3-inch-round cookie cutter into the watermelon, and cut out four pieces. You should now have four 2-inch-high rounds of watermelon.
Scoop out the middle of each of the four rounds to make little bowls. You can use a melon baller or a regular spoon (you’ll remove about 4 Tablespoons).
Sprinkle lime juice over watermelon. Scoop 1/2 cup sorbet into the bowl of each watermelon, garnish with mint or basil and serve immediately.

Enjoy!
