Pink Tropical Raspberry Sorbet
Description
This sorbet uses pineapple sherbet as a base, softened until mixable, then combined with thawed frozen raspberries and bananas tossed in lemon juice. The lemon juice adds flavor and prevents the bananas from browning, keeping their color fresh. The mixture is mixed until raspberries and bananas break down to small pieces, though it can be further blended for a smoother texture, then refrozen to set.
The finished sorbet is a colorful pink treat with tropical sweetness from pineapple combined with tart raspberries and creamy banana, offering a fruit-forward flavor profile and soft yet icy texture. It can be served simply scooped or enhanced with thin crispy lemon cookies for contrast. Alternatively, it can be served as a float with ginger ale or other lemon-lime sodas, adding a fizzy, refreshing element.
This sorbet is ideal for hot days or as a fruit-forward dessert, with flexibility in serving and optional accompaniments to suit different tastes and occasions.
Ingredients
Sorbet:
- ½ gallon pineapple sherbet
- 10 ounces raspberries thawed (don't drain, frozen
- 2-3 banana thinly sliced, medium
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
Optional:
- lemon cookies thin, crispy, see note
- ginger ale see note
Instructions
- Scoop sherbet into the bowl of an electric stand mixer (or into a large bowl to mix by hand or with an electric hand mixer). Let it soften until mixable, 5-10 minutes.
- While the sherbet softens, toss the bananas with the lemon juice (adds a boost of flavor and helps the bananas retain their bright color).
- To the sherbet, add the raspberries (with any accumulated juices) and the bananas and lemon juice. Mix until well combined and the raspberries and bananas are in small pieces (continue mixing if you want them broken down even more).
- Scoop into a freezer-safe container and freeze until set up, 2-3 hours (or longer). Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temp for 15 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls (delicious served with a few thin and crispy lemon cookies) OR scoop into glasses with ginger ale for a fizzy float drink.
Notes
- Serve the sorbet with thin, crispy lemon or vanilla cookies, such as those found at Trader Joe's or Costco, for added texture.
- For a fizzy float version, use ginger ale; alternatively, lemon-lime sodas like Sprite or 7-Up can be substituted.
