Star-Spangled Sorbet
Executive Chef Talen Lancaster
Therapy Restaurant
Las Vegas
Not only is this patriotic dessert dressed in the July Fourth colors of red, white and blue, but it also makes a refreshing way to end a summer meal. Chef Lancaster prepares each sorbet flavor separately with fruit puree, sugar, inverted sugar, glucose and water. Once frozen, he spins each sorbet through a device that micro purees it, then layers the mixtures in dessert glasses, refreezing after each layer. If pressed for time, commercially prepared sorbets can be substituted.
