Pineapple-Mango Sherbet
July 12, 2023
If the description of this summer dessert in The Best of Byerly’s cookbook — “a Caribbean cooler laced with orange-flavored liqueur” — isn’t enough to entice you to whip up a batch, consider this: It’s easy to make, especially if you use L&B cut pineapple and mango. It’s super light and refreshing, too, so a scoop won’t leave you feeling weighed down.
Make the recipe as is and revel in the tropical vibes from the pineapple and mango, or try it with other fruits, like strawberries or raspberries, for a more Midwestern feel. It’s delicious either way.
