For example, a smoothie is made by blending fruit, yogurt, and sometimes other ingredients together. * **Churning:** Some desserts, like sorbet, are made by churning them in a machine that freezes and agitates the mixture at the same time. This process helps to create a smooth and creamy texture. ### **Serving** * **Chill Before Serving:** Most desserts should be chilled before serving. This helps them to set and makes them more refreshing. * **Garnish:** Desserts can be garnished with fresh fruit, shaved chocolate, or whipped cream. * **Store Leftovers:** Leftovers can be stored in the freezer for several weeks. ### **Conclusion** Tropical Frozen Desserts are a delicious and easy way to enjoy the flavors of the tropics.
