Ingredients

• 4 large ripe bananas
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and slice them into 1-inch pieces. Place the slices in a blender or food processor.

Step 2

Add the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the blender, and blend until smooth.

Step 3

Pour in the whole milk and heavy cream, and blend again until fully combined and creamy.

Step 4

Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness, if necessary, by adding more sugar in small increments.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to a shallow freezer-safe container. Cover it tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.

Step 6

Place the container in the freezer for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the edges start to freeze.

Step 7

Remove the container from the freezer, and use a whisk or hand mixer to break up any ice crystals. Mix thoroughly to ensure a smooth texture.

Step 8

Repeat the freezing and whisking process every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours, or until the sherbet reaches your desired creamy consistency.

Step 9

Once fully frozen, scoop the sherbet into bowls or cones and serve immediately, or store in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
