These Watermelon Ice Cream Bowls Are the Tasty Summer Treat You Need

Bask in the golden rays in the most summery way possible with these watermelon ice cream bowls. Watermelon sherbet, sitting pretty in edible chocolate bowls, looks and tastes like the real thing. Made from frozen watermelon, the sherbet tastes lightly sweet and beyond refreshing, and the addition of rich dark chocolate seeds makes a downright addictive combination. It’s the perfect way to cool off while lounging poolside, or like, while on the computer looking at the pool.
