I think that ice cream has been our first dessert that we didn't fancy up with its French name. This has been ice cream, sorbet and souffle week. The ice cream product was Baked Alaska. Inside that mound of browned Italian meringue is a ball of homemade dark chocolate. Inside the ice cream is a ball of raspberry sorbet.
Souffles are tricky. We did a vanilla souffle and it came out OK for the first time. It is definitely a dessert that requires some practice.
