Sauternes Ice Cream and Apricot Sherbet Cake

Apricots are often invoked when discussing the nuances of wines, especially Sauternes. These silky, sumptuous wines are said to have the aroma, the balance of sweetness, the acidity, and the honeyed creaminess of this fruit. It makes sense that putting them together would create a wonderful dessert. An apricot-vanilla compote tops off this colorful frozen cake.
