Ingredients
- 4 large, overripe bananas
- Optional: 1 tsp monk fruit sweetener
Instructions
- Place the bananas in a CREAMi pint, breaking them into chunks and smashing them with a potato masher. Push them down into the pint to ensure there are no gaps or pockets and smooth the top with a spatula. Make sure they don't go over the MAX FILL line, then put the lid on it.
- Place the pint in the freezer, making sure it's level. Freeze for 24 hours.
- Take the pint from the freezer, remove the lid, and place it in the outer bowl of the Ninja CREAMi. Install the paddle in the lid and attach lid to the outer bowl.
- Plug in the Ninja CREAMi unit and install the bowl on the base.
- Press the power button and select SORBET.
- When the unit shuts off, remove the bowl from the base and remove the lid.
- If the sorbet is crumbly, then reattach the lid and install the bowl on the base again. Select RE-SPIN. You can re-spin the mixture twice if needed.
- Once the sorbet is at the right consistency, serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
