Top with 1/2 pint strawberry or raspberry sorbet.
  3. Drizzle completely with half of chocolate mixture. Spread evenly with a knife. Freeze 45 minutes, and allow lemon sorbet to soften at room temperature. Spread 1/2 pint of lemon sorbet to form another layer in loaf pan.
  4. Fold over sides of plastic wrap to cover completely and freeze 4 hours. To serve, run a knife around edge of the pan. Remove plastic wrap form top. Invert loaf onto a platter and remove rest of plastic wrap. Slice and serve immediately. Unused portion may be frozen in plastic wrap for up to 2 days.
