Best in summer when bananas and avocados are in peak season, but perfect year-round!

Ingredients

• 1 ripe avocado (about 150 g)

• 🍌 1 medium ripe banana (approximately 120 g, peeled)

• 🥛 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or substitute with oat milk for a nut-free option)

• 🍯 2 tbsp agave syrup (or maple syrup for a natural sweetener option)

• 🧂 Pinch of sea salt to enhance flavors

• 🍋 1 tsp fresh lemon juice (to prevent browning and add brightness)

• 🟩 Optional: 1/2 tsp vanilla extract for added flavor

Directions

• Prepare Ingredients: Peel and dice the banana, scoop out the avocado flesh, and juice the lemon.
• Blend Base: In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, banana, almond milk, agave syrup, sea salt, lemon juice, and optional vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
• Chef’s Note: Ensure the mixture is completely smooth for the best results in the Ninja Creami.
• Freeze Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Tap the container gently on the counter to release air bubbles and ensure an even surface. Seal with the lid and freeze for 24 hours.
• Prepare the Creami: After freezing, remove the pint container from the freezer and place it into the Ninja Creami machine.
• Select Sorbet Mode: Choose the “Sorbet” function on the Ninja Creami and let it churn the frozen mixture into a creamy, smooth consistency.
• Check Consistency: If the mixture appears crumbly, use the “Re-Spin” function until the desired creaminess is achieved.
• Troubleshooting Tip: If it’s too thick, add a splash of almond milk and process again.
• Serve Immediately: Scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones for an instant treat.
• Storage: For leftovers, place the lid back on the pint and return it to the freezer. Re-spin before serving next time for optimal texture.
• Presentation: Garnish with a few slices of banana, a drizzle of almond butter, or a sprinkle of crushed nuts for added flair.
• Enjoy and Share: Savor the creamy, nutty, and fruity flavors of this unique sorbet.

Notes

• Storage Instructions: Store in the freezer for up to 1 week. Re-spin before serving for best texture.
• Ripe avocados are key to achieving the rich, creamy texture. Avoid underripe ones.
• Adjust sweetness by adding more agave syrup or a touch of coconut sugar.
• If the sorbet is icy after churning, double-check the “Re-Spin” feature or ensure your freezer is set to the proper temperature (-18°C / 0°F).

Modification Suggestions

• Nut-Free: Replace almond milk with coconut milk or oat milk.
• Low-Sugar: Skip the agave syrup and rely on the banana’s natural sweetness.

When I first experimented with this Avocado, Almond, and Banana Sorbet, I was skeptical. Avocado in dessert?

It sounded strange, but I decided to give it a shot on a warm summer afternoon when ripe avocados were plentiful in my kitchen.

The inspiration came from a café I visited during a trip to Mexico, where they served a velvety avocado ice cream that melted in my mouth.

I wanted to recreate that magic at home, but with a healthier, plant-based twist.

The first bite of this sorbet took me straight back to that sunny patio, shaded by vibrant bougainvillea.

The Ninja Creami delivered a texture so creamy it felt like a cheat day indulgence, yet I knew I was enjoying wholesome ingredients.

Since then, it’s become my go-to dessert to impress guests—it’s unexpected, exotic, and downright delicious! Plus, my kids love guessing the “secret ingredient” (they never believe it’s avocado!).
