Passion Fruit Sorbet, inspired by Pierre Gagnaire

[MikeTMD]

OK, I was not quite done with my PF exercises.

This dish is almost an identical copy of PF dessert served at Pierre Gagnaire's Hong Kong restaurant.

Gingersnap Shortbread, Creme Anglaise, PF sorbet, Swedish Pearl Sugar

Great combination of flavors - will certainly make again.

Hey Mike,

What type of ice cream machine do you use? I just ordered a Cuisinart Supreme Ice Cream Maker but was just wondering what other people used and which they thought were the best?

Robert,

I use a simple $24 IC/sorbet maker from Target ( bought like 5 years ago) - the one that has cooling bowl that needs to be frozen for 24 hours b/4 you can use it. It's simple and cheap, but does OK for the price.

Cusinart looks like a good piece of equipment - do you like it?

Personally, I would like to give PacoJet a try!

I have the cuisinart supreme on order. I went to buy it and no one had it in store so I ordered it from Bed Bath and Beyond. It should be arriving, probably, the end of next week. I already have some milk and cream infusing with a Madagascar Vanilla bean so Im getting ready for battle...

I'lll let you know how it goes...
