Top with 1/2 pint strawberry or raspberry sorbet.
- 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.

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.
