SLS Las Vegas Hotel, Las Vegas NV
Mmm, this sorbet was just what the doctor ordered. It was hot and sunny by the pool, and this was the perfect treat!

Apricot sorbet – Luce
Cardamom crumble and pistachio. Tasting menu $95
Luce, San Francisco CA
I enjoy simple desserts and this one was lovely and delicious. The sorbet had a great apricot flavor and the cardamom crumbled and chopped pistachios were fun additions.

Lemon basil sorbet – Raimo Kiosk
1 scoop 3€
Raimo Kiosk, Paris FR
I guess this flavor won some contest in Paris for the best sorbet in the city. Hmm, I’m not convinced, lol! This was a little too tart for me, and it was too icy and melted quickly. We went to the kiosk at the Jardin de Plantes so it was at least a really pretty location.

Desserts – Tinto
Bunuelos: donuts, date jam, spiced honey, date-olive oil ice cream. Summer prix-fixe menu $38
Tinto, Palm Springs CA
Mmm, I love bunuelos! These were pretty good and I enjoyed the date-olive oil ice cream too!
Chocolate flourless cake, chocolate mousse, passion fruit sorbet.
I think this was just a little too rich for me after a large meal. I couldn’t only eat a few bites before I had to quit. The flavors were good though.

South Carolina peaches – McCrady’s Restaurant
Shiso biscuit, peach cream and sorbet. 4 course dinner $60
McCrady’s Restaurant, Charleston SC
This was a wonderful way to end a marvelous meal! Since I totally ordered on the “heavy” side for the previous courses, this light and refreshing dessert was just what I needed. The shiso biscuit and leaves were delightful and tasted great with the peaches and sorbet. Mmm, noms!
Beautiful window planter with a hardy leopard plant (Ligularia sp., Asteraceae). This planter was a few doors down from McCrady’s and the Ligularia was absolutely stunning with it’s large, shiny green leaves and small yellow composite flowers.
“Marjolaine” – The French Laundry
Praline mousse, “dacquoise”, meringue, and roasted banana sorbet. Chef’s Tasting Menu $270
The French Laundry, Yountville CA
This was one of those desserts that has a lot of amazing components but I couldn’t seem to enjoy them all at once. It all tasted great, but I was left with a feeling of disappointment. The tiny pieces of bananas were amazing, lol!
Meyer lemon cremeaux – RN74
With pistachio streusel, kaffir lime meringue, citrus wedges, coconut-shiso sorbet, micro Thai basil. New Year four-course tasting menu $80
RN74, San Francisco
I enjoyed this dessert very much. It was very different and fresh tasting. I think my favorite components were the kaffir lime meringues and the cremeaux. It was mostly citrus flavors but the pistachio streusel helped to neutralize the acidity. I’m still on the fence about the coconut-shiso sorbet. Maybe that was a little too out there for me. Perhaps the flavor wasn’t intense enough so it faded into the background.
Coffee. $3.50 per cup. Very cute service.
Seascape Strawberry – Scream Sorbet
Wholesome sorbet with just 2 ingredients! Rodriguez Ranch organic Seascape strawberries and sugar. Petite cup $3
Scream Sorbet, San FranciscoThe deep, almost neon-y color of this sorbet was absolutely beautiful, and the strawberry flavor was rich and spectacular! What wasn’t so great was the price. I ordered a $3 petite cup and it was definitely PETITE! The pic looks deceiving, but the amount of sorbet in this tiny cup was about a large spoonful. Don’t get me wrong, I buy organic and enjoy living a healthy lifestyle but I draw the line at spending $3 on a spoonful of sorbet. I’m glad I tasted Scream Sorbet but next time I’ll buy a cup of fresh, organic strawberries instead.
