How to Make Banana Sherbet
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and ½ cup of water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat and let the sugar syrup cool completely to room temperature.
- Once cooled, gently stir in 4 ripe, mashed bananas until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container (approximately 8x8 inch baking dish).
- Freeze for 3-4 hours, or until the edges are set.
- Remove from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to slightly soften.
- Transfer the partially frozen mixture to a mixing bowl.
- Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Return the sherbet to the freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
