Summers, parfaits and sorbets are a perfect match, but if you put them together and add cherries? You get a cherry lemon sorbet parfait that's tasty and easy to make.
2 scoops lemon sorbet 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries ¼ cup water 2-3 tbsp honey 1 tsp lemon juice ½ tsp vanilla extract Lemon zest Crushed pistachio, optional Granola or toasted coconut flakes, as needed
In a saucepan over medium heat, add the cherries, honey and water. Keep stirring until cherries soften.
When the mixture becomes thick, add in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. Let it cool and freeze it.
In a glass or parfait cup, add a layer of lemon sorbet and a spoonful of cherry compote.
Repeat until the glass or cup is filled to the brim. Garnish with lemon zest, crushed pistachios and granola flakes as needed. Enjoy!
As of today, while the rich chocolatey versions of parfait are still classic, healthier and other creative versions are also in trend.
