Made this for a friend’s birthday dessert. Perfect for those who are gluten and lactose intolerant. I shied away from using the amount of star anise given in the recipe. Although flavorful I’ll use the full amount next time. The flavor of the star anise marries well with the cantaloupe. Recipe is so easy.
this is so quick, very tasty, and - as a sorbet - not as guilt-inducing as other desserts. make it!
