Cooking Tip
Small Scoop
This scoop, similar to an ice cream scoop, only smaller (about 1” across), is perfect for scooping ganache.

Cooking Tip
Sorbet

Sorbet is a low fat alternative to ice cream as it contains no dairy products. Sorbet is a frozen dessert comprised of water sweetened from fruit puree/juice, wine, and or liqueur. Sorbet can be made at home in minutes, frozen and enjoyed later that day. They are incredibly refreshing on hot summer days.
