This is a test run for dessert for tomorrow night’s dinner with friends. Test run = my excuse for sampling it!
These are cookie-dough-ball-sized scoops of Häagen-Daz vanilla ice cream and homemade chocolate sorbet. The sorbet is fantastically easy to make; thank you Ina Garten for this recipe!
It’s shown here in its, er, test bowl in the smallest ramekins, though from the photo it appears much larger than it is. I plan on serving it in Frangelico glasses for dessert. I haven’t decided whether to serve it with berries, too. What do you think?

Yummy! I love blackberries and they are perfect with the vanilla ice cream for me. ;-)
We ended up having just that: blackberries on top! So much fun :)
DELICIOUS ! Having tasted the combination before Mmmm-mmmmm, wonderful fun.
I can always make more :)
I voted for both berries, plus some strawberries and oh yeah, we forgot the cherries! Cherries would be the winner for me.
Mmm, cherries would be great. Thanks for the idea!
