Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon , cubed and frozen*
- 1 cup bananas , sliced and frozen**
Instructions
- Blend. Add the frozen watermelon and bananas to a high-speed blender (or a food processor) and blend until smooth. If using a blender, use the tamper to push the ingredients down into the blade. If using a food processor, pulse to first chop the fruit and then puree until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. If the motor seems to be struggling, stop and pause for a moment to let the bananas thaw slightly. Don't add any liquid, if possible.
- Serve. Divide the sorbet into serving bowls and serve immediately. You can also transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for 1-2 hours (not longer!) for a firmer, more scoopable consistency.
- Store. Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the freezer for 1-2 weeks. The sorbet will freeze rock solid. Blend again to achieve sorbet consistency.
Notes
*You can either cut the watermelon into 1-inch/2.5-cm cubes or scoop out the flesh using a melon baller. Arrange the watermelon in a single layer onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze until firm, 4-5 hours. (I usually freeze mine overnight). The watermelon needs to be fully frozen; otherwise, it will become slushy as soon as you start blending it.
**Cut the bananas into 1-inch/2.5-cm thick slices. Arrange the slices in a single layer onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze until firm, 3-4 hours.
***Prep time does not include freezing the fruit, about 5 hours.
