Chocolate Banana Sorbet Recipes

Steps:

• Combine frozen banana, almond milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt in a high-powered blender; blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. Add more almond milk if mixture is too crumbly.
• Serve immediately as soft serve, or freeze for a firmer texture, 1 to 2 hours.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, mix the sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in 2 cups water and the espresso. Cook over low heat until the ingredients are dissolved. Off the heat, stir in the coffee liqueur. Transfer to plastic containers and refrigerate until very cold.
• Freeze the mixture in an ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer's directions. The sorbet will still be soft; place it in a plastic container and freeze for 1 hour or overnight, until firm enough to scoop.

Steps:

• Pulse banana and water in a food processor until chunky; add caramel sauce. Blend until completely smooth.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, stir together sugar and water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and allow to cool.
• When the sugar syrup is cool, stir in bananas. Pour into a freezer - safe baking dish. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours, until set at the edges.
• Remove from the freezer and transfer to a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat until smooth. Return to the freezer until gently set, at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• Peel the banana and cut into chunks about 1-inch long. Put the banana, lime juice and honey in a food processor and process by pulsing until it is pureed but still a little chunky. Spoon into a serving dish and serve.
