Sorbetto di Banana (Banana Sorbet)

Description

This is so smooth and creamy, it is hard to believe it contains no cream or egg yolks.

Makes 1 pint

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 ripe medium bananas
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 3 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool slightly, then refrigerate until cold.

2. In a food processor or blender, purée the bananas and lemon juice until smooth. Add the sugar syrup. Pour the mixture into a chilled 9-inch square metal pan. Freeze until solid, several hours or overnight.

3. Break the sorbetto into chunks. Place in a food processor and purée until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately, or pack into a covered container and freeze for up to 2 hours.
