dessert ideas for Saturday night
I'm having friends over for dinner around the pool. I was planning on affogatos for dessert for ease and because it's 100 degrees on these Texas nights. Just realized they don't eat a lot of dairy. We are having grilled salmon and a big nectarine and tomato salad. I'll have some cherries and watermelon available and crudites with a mediterranean dip for snacking. Can you think of another drink/frozen concoction for dessert that doesn't involve ice cream? Maybe a sorbet with a sparkling wine or lambic? I'm open to all suggestions...

A friend of mine also recently made granitas from sweet vermouth and from sherry (two separate ones) that I think were just vermouth or sherry, stirred while freezing. They were delicious and refreshing.
Take advantage of the fact that peaches are terrific right now,
Other option, make a fruit salad, grill some watermelon slices, pineapple rings, you can add the cherries and any other fruit available., grapes ,strawberries etc... sprinkle it all with some Cointreau or Chambord liqueur, have some whipped cream on the side.
instead of butter and they can be frozen ahead of time!
Can't find the exact recipe now to link to, but there are many out there.
Also other avocado-based desserts, and other paleo desserts...many to choose from.
