Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250°F, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Stir together sugar and cornstarch. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites with lemon juice and salt on low speed until frothy. Increase speed to medium-high and gradually add sugar mixture, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Draw two 5-by-10-inch rectangles on a sheet of parchment, spaced at least 2 inches apart. Turn parchment upside-down on a baking sheet and adhere corners with masking tape or tiny dollops of meringue. Repeat with another sheet of parchment and baking sheet, so you have 4 rectangles total. Divide meringue evenly among rectangles; spread to edges with an offset spatula.
- Bake until meringues are crisp and dry on outsides, but not developing any color, about 1 hour. Turn oven off (do not open door); let cool and continue drying in oven at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
- Temper sorbets in refrigerator until softened but not melting, about 15 minutes. Transfer one meringue layer to a freezer-safe plate or tray. Gently spread one pint of sorbet evenly to edges of meringue. Repeat with remaining meringue and sorbet layers, topping with last meringue layer. Freeze until firm, at least 3 hours or, wrapped in plastic, up to 2 days.
- Beat cream to soft peaks on medium-high speed. Spread over top of cake; sprinkle with berries, coconut, and seeds. Slice and serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and return to freezer until ready to serve, up to 4 hours.
WATERMELON BOMBE
Layers of ice cream are molded in a bowl to make this impressive ice-cream cake. A pistachio "rind" is lined with vanilla and filled with watermelon sorbet. The seeds are an improvement on nature: They're bits of chocolate wafers. A sponge-cake layer provides another texture and flavor.

Steps:
- Line a 3-quart metal mixing bowl with plastic wrap, and leave the edges overhanging. Place lined bowl in freezer for 10 minutes; this will be the mold. Chill the bowl of an electric mixer as well.
- Place pistachio ice cream in the chilled mixer bowl. Using the paddle attachment of the mixer, beat on low speed until ice cream is spreadable, about 30 seconds. Remove chilled mold from freezer. Using a rubber spatula, coat inside of mold with all the pistachio ice cream, making a 1/2-inch-thick layer. Return mold and clean mixer bowl to the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Place vanilla ice cream in chilled mixer bowl. Beat on low speed until spreadable, about 30 seconds. Remove mold from freezer. Using the rubber spatula, coat pistachio layer with the vanilla ice cream, making a 1/4-inch-thick layer. Return mold and clean mixer bowl to freezer for 30 minutes.
- Place sorbet in chilled mixer bowl. Beat on low speed until sorbet has softened, about 1 minute. Fold in wafer pieces. Remove mold from freezer. Pack sorbet into center, making an even layer that comes to 1/3 inch below the top of the ice cream layer. Cover sorbet portion with sponge cake; trim cake if necessary. Return mold to freezer until completely hardened.
- To serve, place a serving plate upside down on top of the mold. Holding plate against mold, invert both. Place a hot wet kitchen towel over the mold. Remove the metal bowl. Immediately before serving, remove the plastic wrap.
RAINBOW SORBET CAKE
Simple and excessive at once, this lofty creation combines the intense flavors and colors of fruit sorbets -- green apple, raspberry, grapefruit, and mango -- with delicate, snowy meringues.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 185 degrees. Cut a 7-inch circle from a 10-inch square of 1/4-inch-thick cardboard or Foamcore. Set circle aside to use for bottom of cake, and reserve the cut-out square as a template. Cut three 11-by-17-inch rectangles out of parchment paper, and set parchment aside.
- Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches of water, and bring to a simmer. Place sugar and egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer. Hold bowl over simmering water, and whisk until warm to the touch and sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes.
- Using the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium speed until stiff and glossy, about 4 minutes; do not overbeat.
- Place the template over one end of a piece of parchment. Scoop 1 cup egg-white mixture into the center. Using an offset spatula, spread the mixture into an even layer. Remove the template. Make another disk on other end of parchment. Create three more disks on remaining two pieces of parchment. Slide each piece of parchment onto a 11-by-17-inch baking sheet.
- Transfer the meringue disks to the oven, and bake 1 1/2 hours, making sure they don't brown. Turn off heat, and let the disks dry completely in oven, 6 hours to overnight.
- Place one meringue disk on the reserved 7-inch cake round. Using a gelato paddle or a large spoon, build up an even layer of mango sorbet on top of the disk. Top with a second meringue disk. Continue the layering process, returning cake to the freezer to harden, as needed. Use remaining grapefruit, raspberry, and green-apple sorbets and the meringue disks. Top with a disk. Transfer cake to freezer, and freeze until hardened. Let soften slightly before serving. Serve with a spoon in bowls.
