Lagniappe - Summer Dessert Kebabs
When it's hot outside and you just want a simple and light dessert, here's an idea. Do some fun fruit skewers like these. They have sort of a wow factor don't you think? And the best part, no cooking required. This is purely an assemble only dessert.
Summer Dessert Kebabs
Sorbet of your choice (I used this Coconut one by Ciao Bella that is perfection if you like coconut.)
Fruits of your choice. Here, I used sliced bananas, fresh pitted cherries and fresh blackberries.
A bite of chocolate or a bite of a decadent cookie, your choice.
Some fun skewers like the ones pictured here that I got at Party City or just plain bamboo ones broken in half.
Glass dessert bowls, frozen.
1) Put the dessert bowls in the freezer.
2) Scoop the sorbet in little round balls with a mini ice-cream scoop and place on baking sheet. Put sheet in freezer and freeze until rock-hard (several hours).
3) Immediately before serving your dessert, get all your berries & bowls and such "mis en place" or in it's place. Sorbet melts quickly so you can't be running around the kitchen.
4) Stab away in whatever order you want. I only made six here (two each for three people), but if you have a larger crowd, you will want to return the bowls to the freezer as you go.
5) Wow your company.
