Recipe Notes
The sorbet can be served on it's own because it has such a strong berry flavor. Two scoops per person is satisfying enough. I just decided to add a crunch with a puff pastry palmier because they are so easy to make. I added a touch of mint and sugar to give it a boost. But, you can certainly leave it out.
