Ingredients for Banana Berry Sherbet

  • Bananas
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ½ cup apple juice

How to Make Banana Berry Sherbet

  1. Slice 3 ripe bananas into ½-inch thick rounds and toss gently with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice in a small bowl. This prevents browning.
  2. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Cover the baking sheet and freeze the banana slices for at least 2 hours, or until firm. This step is crucial for a smooth sherbet.
  4. Add the frozen banana slices and 1 cup of fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced) to a food processor.
  5. Process until the mixture is finely chopped.
  6. With the food processor running, gradually add ½ cup of apple juice.
  7. Continue processing until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  8. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired (a touch of honey or maple syrup can be added).
  9. Spoon the sherbet into serving dishes or small freezer-safe containers.
  10. Serve immediately for a softer sherbet, or freeze for at least 30 minutes for a firmer consistency.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
