This sorbet was alright. It was a bit too icy for my taste, but the flavor was good.

This sorbet was a bit of a disappointment. It wasn't as creamy as I was hoping for, and the flavor was a bit bland.

This sorbet was so easy to make, and it turned out so well! I love that it's a healthier alternative to ice cream, and it's still just as delicious. The compote was also really simple to make, and it added a great flavor to the sorbet.

I'm not usually a fan of cantaloupe, but this sorbet was amazing! The sweetness of the cantaloupe was perfectly balanced by the tartness of the lemon juice, and the compote added a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
