Beat the heat with these colorful sorbets! These Fruit Sorbets are cool, creamy and surprisingly easy to make, and no ice cream maker is needed. This recipe is very similar to a smoothie, less complex and just as healthy. The main difference is that frozen fruits, lime juice and some sweetener is added to achieve that sweet-tart sorbet flavor.
After learning about this easy method, my 3 favourite flavors to make are Strawberry Banana, Pineapple Banana and Mango Banana. You must be wondering why so many bananas? Creamy fruits give the sorbet a creamy texture and prevents it from turning icy. Bananas are by far the best for achieving that creamy sorbet texture. The sweetener has been much reduced from the original recipe, so do adjust according to your preference.
Now you can get creative and whip up your own sorbet flavor creations. You could try lychee mango, coconut banana, passion fruit banana, banana papaya, banana lime, pear banana and more. And best of all – these fruit sorbets are fat free!
- 1½ cups Frozen Strawberries
- 1½ Fresh Bananas
- ¼ cup Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1½ cups Frozen Pineapple
- 2 Fresh Bananas
- ¼ cup Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or more)
- 1½ cups Frozen Mango
- 1 Fresh Bananas
- ⅓ cup Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- Thaw the frozen fruit for 5 minutes so that it blends easily.
- Add all ingredients to a high speed/high quality blender like a Vitamix. Blend until smooth - do not over blend. You do not want to "melt" the mixture. Keep it as thick and frosty as possible.
- Pour into freezer-friendly container, a chilled metal container works best.
- Chill until firm. Scoop and serve!
