Cantaloupe and Avocado Sorbet
I don't think it's often that the owner of a small ice cream company drops off a tub of sorbet at my apartment for a friend of hers, my roommate. Ruth & Phils Gourmet Ice Cream is one of the three companies that makes up one retail space - Sweet Collective. I pulled a container of their cantaloupe avocado cilantro sorbet from my freezer and didn't want to stop tasting spoonfuls. The soft and gentle flavor of cantaloupe led right into a creamy but covert avocado taste, with bits of cilantro adding style and color. If all of their sorbet offerings are this tasty, I could see dreaming of regular deliveries, especially in the summer.
