Dim Sum Sunday - We All Scream for Ice Cream

I have a confession to make. I'm not all that "into" ice cream. I never broke up with someone and comforted myself with a half gallon of Chunky Monkey. Ice cream is not my first choice when the dessert menu rolls around to me. Currently there is no ice cream in my freezer nor is there any sort of appliance for making ice cream in my kitchen culinary arsenal. So what to make this week? I was rattling around Martha Stewart's massive online recipe index looking for something else when I found a couple of fun sorbet recipes.I settled on Tropical Sorbet Terrine. It's a really simple dessert that you can make ahead and leave in your freezer. The only problem that I had with it was the toasted coconut. Not everyone enjoys the chewy texture of coconut in their desserts. You might want to experiment with some fun substitutes for that particular ingredient. Otherwise, on a hot humid day this icy tart dessert is a fun change for all the Chunky Monkey devotees out there. Enjoy!
