Enter: a super versatile recipe from Cucina Melissa that’s as simple to execute as it is easy to enjoy—and, not to mention, sure to please all palettes at truly any age.

Summer Pears
Best in summer and packed with fiber and flavor, pear is an ideal way to infuse a bit of nutrition into your everyday day—and with a typically milder taste, it’s naturally complementary to the tart brightness of a raspberry sorbet, whether homemade—recipe below—or store-bought from your local market.


"Desserts ought to feel decadent‚ it's a treat after all—but if there's an opportunity to make it nourishing and extra-refreshing, why not?"
Seasonal Plums
Nostalgic, indulgent, and always delicious, there’s perhaps no fruit more perfect in summer than the humble plum—sweet and semi-tart, it holds its own without overbearing the fresh raspberry sorbet. For peak enjoyment, serve over ice to keep each bite as refreshing as the last.
