Why you should buy it:
Julia Jones, head of customer marketing at Mövenpick Ice Cream, said: “As the warmer months approach, fruity ingredients such as lemon and lime really come into their own as diners look for light, fresh alternatives to more substantial Winter desserts, which is why incorporating zesty, juicy sorbets is a foolproof - not to mention cost-effective - way of updating your dessert selection in line with the season.
“Lemon & Lime Sorbet is the perfect complement to caramelized pineapple or as part of a trio of sorbets or healthy fruit salad as a light, healthier option.
“And don’t just confine sorbets to the after-dinner menu. Operators can drive profits by including sorbets and ice-creams in drinks menus as a fresh twist to juice-based cocktails or an indulgent addition to traditional smoothies – both of which can be positioned as a dessert and a drink option.”
