Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large lemons
- 2 cups water
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 pinch salt
- 5 fresh (optional for garnish) mint leaves
Instructions
Start by zesting the lemons to collect about 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Set the zest aside.
Juice the lemons to obtain approximately 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove any seeds.
Peel and slice the ripe bananas into chunks.
In a blender, add the lemon juice, water, banana slices, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no banana or zest chunks.
Pour the blended mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish. Spread it evenly.
Place the dish in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it's firm.
Once frozen, remove the sorbet from the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
Use an ice cream scoop to serve the sorbet into bowls. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves for extra freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30-compliant lemon sorbet!
