Refreshing banana-passionfruit sorbet spiked with exotic spices and topped with chia crunch. A perfect guilt-free, nutrient-packed dessert!
Ingredients
- • ripe bananas: 4, peeled and sliced
- • passionfruit pulp: 1 cup (about 4 passionfruits)
- • fresh lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground cardamom: 1/4 teaspoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 2 tablespoons, lightly toasted
Instructions
- 1 Begin by freezing the sliced bananas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper until solid, about 2 hours.
- 2 In a blender or food processor, combine the frozen banana slices, passionfruit pulp, lime juice, cinnamon, cardamom, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 3 Pour the mixture into a lidded container and freeze for an additional hour to achieve a firm sorbet texture.
- 4 Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the chia seeds with the toasted coconut and set aside.
- 5 To serve, scoop the sorbet into bowls and sprinkle generously with the chia-coconut crunch. Enjoy immediately!
Serving Suggestions
- • This Exotic Spiced Banana-Passionfruit Sorbet is delightful on its own, but you can elevate the experience with some fresh mint leaves as a garnish. Pair it with a cup of herbal tea like chamomile or mint for a soothing conclusion to your meal. For an extra burst of flavor, consider drizzling a small amount of honey over the sorbet, which pairs beautifully with the tropical notes of passionfruit. Alternatively, serve alongside a small fruit salad for added texture and color.
Storage Tips
To store, keep the sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. For best texture, allow the sorbet to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. The chia-coconut crunch can be stored separately in a sealed container at room temperature for up to two weeks to maintain its crispness.
