Sorbetto Espresso or Italian Ice

This light and frosty dessert is the perfect ending to a summer meal. It will take a few hours, so plan to make this espresso sorbet ahead of time so you can enjoy it later. Of course you can always use an ice crean maker if you have one.

If you love coffee you will love this frozen treat! I made both options with DH preferring the Sorbetto option and myself preferring the Italian Ice option. While I did not dress this up as we just enjoyed it as a cool down snack can see how it could be dressed up for company. This is a keeper that will be enjoyed again. Thanks for the post.Reply
