7 Corporate Travel Perks Now Available from Best Western Sponsored by Best Western While frozen fruit bars are refreshing on a hot day, sometimes you want a treat with a touch more sophistication. A sweet chocolate shell adds just the right amount of richness to the tart sorbet inside, without the addition of dairy. For truly homemade bars, make your own raspberry sorbet. Special equipment: For coating the bars in chocolate, you'll need a kitchen scale and a chocolate thermometer such as CDN's. What to buy: Professional pastry chefs use a type of chocolate known as couverture, which sets up nicely because it contains more cocoa butter than regular chocolate. The only trick is, you need to temper it. For this recipe, we used E. Guittard 61% Cacao Semisweet Chocolate Wafers or E. Guittard 72% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Wafers, which can be found at specialty grocery stores or online. Game plan: Tempering the chocolate ensures a snappy coating, but for a quicker alternative, dip the sorbet squares in our Chocolate Shell Ice Cream Topping. The chocolate won't have the same snap, but the flavor will be the same. Double the recipe so that you have plenty of coating to cover all the bars. In our experience, it's best to either avoid tempering chocolate on a hot day or work in an air-conditioned space. Chocolate behaves best at a room temperature between the mid-60s and low 70s. Also, chocolate stays in temper for only a short time, so have everything ready to go and work quickly. See more recipes for homemade ice cream bars
