Strawberry-Banana Sherbet image

Sherbet is lighter than ice cream and richer than sorbet. It's made from a frozen mix of sweetened fruit juice and water that's often fortified with milk, cream, egg whites, syrup, or gelatin to impart a smooth, soft consistency.

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups (2 pints) strawberries, stemmed
4 medium, very ripe bananas, peeled
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup (about 4 oranges) fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 1/2 lemons)
2 cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Place strawberries in a large bowl. Using a potato masher, mash strawberries, and set aside.
  • Place bananas and sugar in a medium bowl. Using the potato masher, mash until smooth.
  • Add banana mixture to strawberries, and mix well. Stir in orange juice, lemon juice, and milk. Divide the mixture among four metal ice-cube trays, about 2 cups per tray. The sherbet can also be poured into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish and placed in freezer. Stir every 30 minutes until frozen, about 4 hours.
