Mango-Lemongrass Ice Cream and Blood Orange SorbetMark Thomas

Three very trendy ingredients — mango, lemongrass, and blood oranges — all come together in this unique dessert.

Test-kitchen tip:

Lemongrass is available at Asian markets and in the produce section of some supermarkets. For this recipe, use only the bottom three inches of the stalk. Peel off two outside layers and then chop the core.
