Watermelon and Coconut Sorbet Parfaits image

These simple, striking parfaits are the kind of dessert that wows guests but requires barely more effort than cutting fruit. Ripe watermelon cubes and coconut sorbet taste delicious (and look gorgeous) together, needing only pinches of lime zest for a tropical inflection and toasted coconut for crunch.

WATERMELON SORBET

There are no bad watermelons, but how can you improve your chances for a ripe, delicious one? The cheater's answer is to buy them at a farm stand or a farmers' market, where not only are they likely to be tastier but will also come with a seasoned pro to help. If you're in the grocery store, you might have to get a little rough: put your ear close and slap the side of the watermelon. If it makes a hollow sound, you're in business.
