Rocket Pop Sorbet

About the cook: I am a home cook, and love to experiment in the kitchen. I have been vegan for 3 years, and my switch to plant based eating increased my love of baking and cooking. Recreating recipes, veganizing recipes, and exploring flavor combinations has become my favorite hobby. I also love to explore cooking blogs, restaurant sites, and social media for inspiration.
About the dish: Remember those Red, White, and Blue popsicles? Well, this sorbet is inspired by them, and is a great hot weather treat (not to mention being really pretty!). But, unlike the popsicles, this sorbet is made with no artificial colors or flavors, and it has a decidedly mature flavor profile. Fresh, tart, and herbal, this sorbet has 3 layers (strawberry-black pepper, lemon-sour mix, and blueberry-thyme) and the flavors all compliment each other.
