I’ve tried many variations for my strawberry-banana sorbet, but I always come back to this simple recipe with just frozen fruits, a real fruity pleasure without any fuss. Well, I admit that sometimes I skip the sugar, especially when the fruits are very ripe, taste is also a factor.

Blending in the Thermomix is magical: it does all the work and the sorbet usually comes out ready to be enjoyed, perfect for unexpected moments on a scorching afternoon. Well, it still requires planning some freezing time for the fruits, but it’s totally worth it.

Detailed preparation for an awesome sorbet with Thermomix

  • Dump the strawberries and banana pieces into the Thermomix bowl. I like to alternate the layers, but honestly, you can put everything in randomly.
  • Set your Thermomix to speed 9 for 1 minute. Halfway through, scrape the sides with the spatula, otherwise the blending is uneven (yes, it happened to me the first time, no worries).
  • Taste it; now’s the moment to see if you want to add a bit of sugar or a splash of lemon juice, depending on your mood and the ripeness of the fruit.
  • Pour your sorbet into a bowl or container and freeze for 1 to 2 hours to get the perfect texture. Well, I often check its progress every 30 minutes because I love tasting it early.

Essential utensils for your fruity sorbet with Thermomix

  • A Thermomix obviously, which does everything – blending, scraping, transforming.
  • A spatula for scraping the sides, indispensable.
  • A container to place the sorbet in the freezer, prefer a wide container for even freezing.

Little tips to succeed with your strawberry-banana sorbet

  • Don’t blend too long at the start, otherwise you get a very soft puree, and that’s less cool.
  • Freeze bananas in pieces as soon as they are ripe, it’s great for texture and flavor.
  • Lemon is optional but adds a little kick that enhances the fruity taste, especially if you prefer less sugar.

Tasty variations for a different but just as delicious sorbet

  • Add a handful of fresh mint leaves at the blending stage, it’s the guaranteed freshness touch.
  • Replace the banana with mango for a more exotic sorbet.
  • Add a bit of coconut milk for a creamier version (perfect for those who enjoy plant-based milk).

Honestly, I find this strawberry-banana sorbet to be a true breath of fresh air during hot summer days. This recipe often reminds me of moments of shared happiness with family, around a garden table, just after a barbecue.

And it’s super quick to make too. The essential thing is to have the fruits ready in the freezer. I always recommend prepping in advance, rather than winging it, otherwise it’s guaranteed to be a hassle.

In short, go for this recipe, modify it, improvise, that’s the magic of homemade sorbets. You’ll see, it makes a little impression and satisfies everyone, even the most skeptical guests.
