Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups ripe peaches (peeled, pitted, and sliced)
- 2 ripe bananas (sliced)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cups water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar completely dissolves to form a simple syrup (about 2 minutes). Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
In a blender or food processor, add the sliced peaches, bananas, lemon juice, and the cooled simple syrup. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour in the heavy cream and blend again briefly to combine.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to ensure it is thoroughly cold.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until the sherbet reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned sherbet to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top with a spatula, and place a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap directly over the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Scoop and serve the sherbet in bowls or cones, and enjoy your Peachy Keen Banana Sherbet!
