Wandering through the food blogosphere we come across so many fantastic recipes. I'm always inspired by the talent of all my fellow food bloggers. I must have a list a mile long of recipes I have bookmarked to try!Sometimes I come across a concept that is so simple, and I think"What a brilliant idea!" I knew back in April when I saw this over at Taste With The Eyes, that it was something I was going to make. Lemon and Mascarpone, oh yeah, for sure! I was eagerly waiting for the weather to warm up, which it finally did, and waiting for just the right occasion.
Having some friends over for lunch seemed to be the perfect time.
What attracted me to this was its simplicity to make, but yet an end result, that was so decadent! In fact Lori Lynn's own words were " it's embarrassingly simple". My kind of dessert, and a great "Wow" at the end of a meal. All you do is take 1 pint of your favorite sorbet, put it on your counter and let it defrost a little, take out your food processor, and put in the sorbet along with 6oz. of mascarpone cheese. Give it a whirl until all combined and smooth. Spoon it into a pretty glass, and refreeze it. Garnish it with whatever your heart desires, I just used some lemon peel.
The best thing about this is there was no ice cream machine needed, and no one would ever know the difference!!
Slightly defrost before you serve it, that's when the true flavors come out, then you will enjoy every creamy spoonful!My Hubby loved this so much that now he wants me to try blending an orange sorbet with the mascarpone, sort of like, an "Upscale Dreamsicle" I think the possibilities are endless, don't you?
Thanks Lori Lynn, for letting us all in on "your little secret".
WARNING!!! This could become very addicting!!
