2. Ice entrance: beet and goat sorbet
For a light and surprising entrance, I offer you a beet-goat sorbet . This association is not only visually magnificent thanks to the bright color of the beet, but it also offers a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, with the creamy touch of goat.
Recipe for beet-goat sorbet:

It is an entry that is both light, original and delicate, perfect for surprising your partner.
3. Dessert: Dark chocolate ice cream and mango-passion sorbet
To close the evening in style, nothing like a duo of frozen desserts. Dark chocolate ice cream brings the gourmet and intense touch, while the mango-passion sorbet adds freshness and tangy balance.
Recipe for dark chocolate ice cream:
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon of maple syrup

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until you get a smooth texture. Pour the mixture into the Creami ninja jar, freezes for 24 hours, then uses the "ice" mode.

serve the duo in cuts or verrines, with a few mint leaves for freshness, and sparkles of hazelnuts for the crunch. It is a gentle and lightness end of meal, which will impress your/your partner.
