ACAI-BANANA SORBET

Acai is the purple, berrylike fruit from a palm tree that grows in Central and South America. It's packed with antioxidants and healthy omega-3 fatty acids. We love it partnered with frozen banana for a low-calorie, low-carbohydrate sorbet.

Time 8h10m

Yield 4 1/2 servings (1/2 cup per)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 ripe medium bananas, peeled
Two 3.5-ounce packets frozen unsweetened acai puree
1 tablespoon virgin or extra-virgin coconut oil
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

Steps:

  • Cut each banana into 6 chunks, and freeze until rock solid, preferably overnight.
  • With the acai inside the packet, crush the puree into smaller pieces. Process the pieces in a food processor to a fine slush. Add the frozen banana chunks, coconut oil and maple syrup, and begin to process (the food processor may jolt in the very beginning). As the bananas break down and combine with the acai, the mixture will look crumbly, then gooey and eventually smooth and slightly slushy, like a sorbet. Stop the food processor frequently to scrape down the side of the bowl and break up any clumps. Serve right away, or scrape into a container and freeze until ready to serve.

Categories     dessert

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 ripe banana, frozen
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Peel the banana and cut into chunks about 1-inch long. Put the banana, lime juice and honey in a food processor and process by pulsing until it is pureed but still a little chunky. Spoon into a serving dish and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your sorbet will be. Look for bananas with yellow skin that is covered in brown spots.
  • Freeze the bananas ahead of time: This will help them blend more smoothly and give your sorbet a creamier texture. Cut the bananas into slices and freeze them for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A good blender will help you achieve a smooth and creamy sorbet. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you may need to pulse the ingredients until they are smooth.
  • Add citrus juice and zest: Citrus juice and zest will brighten up the flavor of your sorbet and balance out the sweetness of the bananas. You can use any type of citrus fruit you like, such as oranges, lemons, limes, or grapefruits.
  • Add honey or maple syrup: If you want your sorbet to be sweeter, you can add a little honey or maple syrup. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Chill the sorbet before serving: This will help it firm up and make it easier to scoop. You can chill the sorbet for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

Conclusion:

Banana citrus sorbet is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is easy to make at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sorbet that is creamy, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying dessert, give banana citrus sorbet a try.
