Milk sorbet with brownie, almond praline, chocolate nougatine and boozy cherries

What better combination than chocolate, almonds, caramel and cherries? Then top it off with a cool, fresh milk sorbet, almost like a gelato, and the dream is complete. This dessert is suitable for most people, but perhaps the children can have their cherries plain? If you don’t have access to an ice cream machine, you can of course buy a delicious ice cream in any flavor! Enough for 10 people
