Raspberry Champagne Sorbet

I know I know I know. I’ve been MIA for a little while but it has been pretty busy. I’m not gonna start complaining or anything because busy is good! But it’s taxing on the body and mind and I just haven’t been able to focus on much else besides work. Our busy summer season has pretty much come to an end, and after a quick trip to Los Angeles to visit my dad, I’m back and in great spirits and I’m ready to get back to creating.I’m excited to announce that I’m planning on doing another local competition in about a month! This will be the same competition I participated in last year, where I won 3rd place for my chocolate showpiece, bon bons, and plated dessert. This year I’m planning on taking home the gold.. now that I’ve got my feet wet in the competition world I’m heading in a little more prepared and a lot more comfortable. Stay tuned for that!I made this sorbet a week ago for an intermezzo dish at a wedding that we catered at the restaurant. I loved it so much I decided to put it up on here for you all to try! It’s packed with that sweet raspberry flavor with just a hint of the champagne flavor at the end. Perfect for a hot summer day, or a dinner party!
