Ingredients

2 cups seasonal fruit fresh or frozen
1 banana for smooth texture optional
1 cup coconut milk or fresh fruit juice

Instructions

In a large blender or food processor, combine all ingredients. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth. It should still be a thick puree.
Pour into a freezer safe container and freeze 1-2 hours.
Remove from freezer and re-blend or puree with hand blender to get smooth consistency.
Return to freezer for another 1-2 hours until soft set.

Notes

Feel free to mix and match fruits and mix-ins to customize this sorbet to your family's tastes. If you have a strong enough blender to handle it, starting with frozen fruit will greatly speed up the process. For an even faster method, put the fruit puree in a gallon-size Ziploc bag and put in a plastic or metal container with a lid. Surround the bag with ice, put on the lid of the bucket, and shake or roll for about 20-30 minutes (great job for kids). This will thicken it faster and make smoother ice cream.

Yay! I’ve been trying to find a good substitute for my FIL’s recent homemade ice cream kick. He’s been saying I need to find him a good recipe for ice cream to try out so now I can make this and say “Ha!” because it will be healthier!

We make “ice cream” (basically a very thick smoothie) with a frozen banana, frozen blueberries, coconut milk, almond butter and we then include coconut oil, chia seeds, gelatin, etc.

I make this with frozen pineapple, frozen bananas, and coconut milk. I’ve tried all kinds of variations of frozen fruit, but the pineapple/coconut is my fave. If you start with all the fruit frozen, you can pretty much eat it right away. It’s like soft serve ice cream. Yummy!
Our family also likes to just make banana ice cream — 4 to 5 frozen bananas into the food processor for a few minutes, and we have a treat for all six in the house. I usually top mine with sliced almonds or walnut pieces and some shredded coconut.
