Island Way sorbet
Find the Way
BY TAMARA WIEDER
Previous Columns

I don’t usually fall prey to cute food. Give me food that tastes good, or that’s healthy, or that has some positive quality beyond the merits of its outward appearance. Because beauty, even in the case of food, is often only skin — or cellophane — deep.

Then I tried Island Way sorbet. I was typically skeptical: the sorbet — in apple, orange, lemon, coconut, and pineapple flavors — comes ready to eat in its own hollowed-out fruit shell, a presentation far too cute to be any good. Right?

Wrong.

The stuff is good. Really good. And not your standard dieter’s-nightmare dessert, either: the flavors range from 50 to 70 calories, with only seven to 13 calories from fat. Pop them out of their packaging and present them on plates at your next dinner party, and chances are no one will know you picked them up cheap at 7-Eleven.

They’ll just think your creativity is cute.

Available for $1.29–$1.99 at local 7-Eleven stores.
