sorbet
Icy palate cleanser
Sorbet is a frozen dessert made from sweetened water and fruit juice or purée, containing no dairy.
It differs from sherbet, which includes milk, and from ice cream, which is richer still.
Sorbet often appears as a palate cleanser between courses at formal meals: a lemon sorbet before the main course.
