Ok, so I am determined to make a good ice cream-sorbet-gelato something comprised mostly of fruit (as per the Chinese medicine diet). Many say that you can make ice cream sans ice cream maker... So I gave it a shot and it is pretty darn good. Yay!
Choco Banana Sorbet
Dissolve 2/3 cup sugar, two dashes of cinnamon, a pinch of kosher salt, 4.5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa in 2 cups water over low heat. Stir often with a whisk. When dissolved, take off heat. Place 2 tbsps slivered almonds, 2 over-ripe bananas and the chocolate mixture. Blend in a food processor or blender. Cool. Freeze according to the ice cream maker's directions.
To freeze sans ice cream maker, place the mixture in a wide, shallow freezer safe dish. Chill for an hour. Scrape the frozen bits with a fork. Freeze for another 1/2 hour, scrape. Keep doing this until it resembles ice cream.
For actual instructions on how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker, visit David Lebovitz' blog ... and no, I don't have his book.
