The Next Best Alternative to Ice Cream
The next
best alternative to ice cream? Easy to make homemade sorbet.
(fresh fruits)
Probably
one of the best desserts you can eat yet is tremendously good for you
is Sorbet. It is a frozen dessert made from iced fruit puree and any
other ingredient you would like to add for a light dessert.
It is
sort of a gelato that has no milk in it so is very good for lactose
free individuals or milk allergies. Some sorbets contain
alcohol
that lowers the freezing temperature and makes it slightly
softer. It is very dense and flavorful, matching ice cream
for
quality and taste. The Villa Dolce, makers of Italian gelato,
are
one of the best producers of sorbet on the web.
Sorbet has a
history behind it that says the Roman Emperor, Nero, invented it during
the first century AD. The story said Nero had runners along
the
Appian way, passing buckets of snow to the mountains to his banquet
hall, where it was mixed with honey and wine. Other countries
also laid claim to the original invention, but the mixture of snow,
juice and fruit pulp is delicious. The French served it
traditionally between the starter course and the main course, and is
served as a non-fat and vegan alternative to ice cream.
Sorbet
is made from water, and fruit puree. It is an excellent
source of
Calcium and Vitamin C, and is naturally fat free and low in
calories. They make excellent fruit smoothies and are good
for
you in health aspects. They would be similar to fruit whips where you
put ice, fruit, and some light flavoring in a blender to whip a light
and airy, non dairy drink. Very tasty, natural, and
healthy...
