Who doesn’t love ice cream?
When I gave up eating dairy, I gave up ice cream. Then I discovered the versatility of my blender! Blendtec’s twister jar is a smaller jar with two lids. The twister lid turns while the blender runs; frozen fruits (and other thick, heavy ingredients) blend without the need to stop the blender and continually scrape down the sides. Blending frozen fruits makes sorbet in a minute or two. Easy. And refreshingly delicious!
Combine any frozen fruit for a sorbet dessert. I use ripe, frozen bananas or mango as the base; both are very creamy and sweet. Then add frozen berries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, melons, lychee, passionfruit, dragon fruit or pomegranate seeds. Most frozen fruits blend well. Add a cut up date or two (pits removed) for chewy morsels. Have fun and experiment!
Banana Raspberry Sorbet
Ingredients
2 medium sized peeled and frozen bananas
heaping 1/4 cup frozen organic raspberries
Method
Cut the frozen bananas into slices using a sharp knife. Add to a high speed, powerful blender. Use a smaller jar (such as the twister jar if you have a Blendtec) designed for frozen fruits and nuts if you have one. Otherwise, be prepared to stop the blender every 10-15 seconds and scrape down the sides. Add the frozen raspberries. Blend until creamy.
Dish in to bowls. Serve right away and relish every bite!
