Pineapple & Banana Sorbet
Pineapple & Banana Sorbet
Pineapple & Banana Sorbet is the easiest, most flavourful, cooling, guilt free summer treat. With no refined sugar used, enjoy this sorbet to your heart’s content. Since I had maple syrup at hand, I used added it to the sorbet. Therefore, this sorbet is vegan.
Over Ripe Bananas
Hot weather means that bananas tend to ripen faster. Instead of throwing the over ripe bananas, I chop them up and freeze them for later use. Sometimes I’ll use them for the following recipes:
So many options, so please don’t bin those over ripe bananas.
Pineapple & Me
I love pineapple and can eat bowlfuls of it. Unfortunately, hubby is not a big fan of enjoying pineapple on its own like the way I am. So whenever I get a whole pineapple, I eat it by myself over a couple of days or sometimes land up making a dessert, smoothie or salsa. Hubby will have it if incorporated in any dish.

Pineapple & Banana Sorbet
So, this recipe came as I had some over ripe bananas and pineapple at hand. The first time I made it, I used sugar. Then replaced it with honey and maple syrup to make it a guilt free treat. Also realized that more over ripe the bananas are, less sweetener is required. I find that fresh mint adds a lovely summery freshness to a dessert. And I love using it with pineapple.
Sharing This Recipe With Foodies_Redoing Old Posts
Oh my gosh, simply unbelievable, this group has reached its 100th milestone. Amazing how time flies. But, all that credit goes to Renu of Cook with Renu. If she would not have started this group, so many of my old posts would still be old, with unfocused photos, bad writing, etc. I probably have redone about 80 old posts if not more. Also these posts getting attention and social media shares from like minded food bloggers has been a boost. Thank you Seema, Jayashree, Archana, Kalyani and Priya VJ who have been regular participants.
Ingredients Required For Pineapple & Banana Sorbet
Pineapple – I have used fresh pineapple. Am sure tinned ones would also work fine for this recipe.
Over Ripe Bananas – I have used 2 medium ones.
Mint – a few leaves of fresh mint. I add them in the blender with the pineapple and banana so they get crushed.
Maple Syrup – add according to the sweetness of the bananas and pineapple. Can replace it with honey.
Salt – I have used pink Himalayan salt. Just need very little to bring out the natural sweetness of the other ingredients.

PINEAPPLE & BANANA SORBET
Ingredients
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
- 2 medium over ripe bananas
- 10-12 fresh mint leaves
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Chop the bananas into chunks.
- Add all the ingredients in a blender jug.
- Process till you get a smooth thick paste.
- Pour the mixture into a freezable container.
- Freeze the pineapple banana mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- I allowed it to freeze overnight.
- Take the container out of the freezer.
- Allow the sorbet to stand at room temperature for 5 minutes if it cannot be scooped.
- Scoop out pineapple and banana sorbet into ice creams and serve.

Notes

- Because of the bananas, this sorbet will not form crystals when frozen. However, if it does, break them up by scrapping the sorbet with a fork. Freeze it again.
- Do not add water. So make sure you use a powerful blender.

Thank you so much Renu. You must try the sorbet out. Because of the banana, no crystals are formed. As for another 100 redone blogs posts… God willing that too will happen.

Thanks Priya, it is one of the easiest desserts to make. I’ve also made sorbet from leftover sugar syrup..one from gulab jamun and rasgoollas.
