I broke my parents blender trying to make this and now they are mad at me
Along the same lines - buy a bag of frozen mango (or pineapple) and a bag of frozen raspberries. dump into food processor, add about 1/4 cup honey, about the same amount of water. process until smooth. eat right away, or freeze. best sorbet you ever had! and the color is gorgeous!
You can also take the puree'd and frozen banana, make a uniform round ball with an ice cream scoop, dip into melted chocolate and roll in chopped walnuts before serving.
For every 500g of banana, add 15g of rum to suppress the freezing point to gelato-like (about 280 AFP/PAC). Mash bananas in a Pacojet container and incorporate rum. Freeze solid and Pacotize without overpressure. Fantastic.
Made this in the food processor and added ~3/4 cup cottage cheese to help it blend and add protein. It’s sooooo good. Like homemade banana soft serve ice cream. Will make this over and over again!
Add one fresh(unfrozen) medium-ripe banana; much kinder to the blender this way and will get a little more air whipped in. A quarter teaspoon vanilla extract wouldn't hurt. Optional: fold in mini chocolate chips post-blending
