# Botanical Pear Sorbets This Ciao Bella Dessert Combines the Floral Flavors of Hibiscus with Pear By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-01-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floral-flavors References: [ciaobellagelato](https://ciaobellagelato.com/pear-hibiscus/) & [trndmonitor](https://trndmonitor.com/dessert-spotlight-ciao-bella-bartlet-pear-hibiscus-gelato/) In this frozen treat from Ciao Bella, the rich, buttery and slightly tart taste of a Bartlett Pear is combined with the exotic floral flavors of the red hibiscus flower. The result is a sorbet that's just as vibrant as is it flavorful. The ingredient list on this sorbet is incredibly simple. Beyond using pear puree and a hibiscus concentrate, the remaining ingredients only include: pectin, water, lemon for additional tartness and cane juice as a sweetener. As a whole, the dessert is fat-free, dairy-free and gluten-free. Aside from eating it by the bucket, Ciao Bella suggests that the Bartlett Pear & Red Hibiscus Sorbetto can also be enjoyed as an addition to a [carbonated beverage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polar-seltzer-dessert-cart).
