Use your older bananas as a base for this smooth, rich sorbet. With no dairy, you won’t feel like you are missing a thing with this cold treat.

I feel like a crazy banana lady. I buy them in mass quantities and once ripe, I freeze them all. I love adding them to smoothies or to make fake ice cream. Fake ice cream you ask? Well it’s like a healthy, no-junk soft serve that will convince even your pickiest ice cream fans that they are eating something totally indulgent. Totally vegan. Gluten free. Plus you can add whatever to it to make it even better! This was yesterday’s dessert and it was so good (I’m glad I snuck a bit to enjoy). This is for the chocolate coconut fans out there. Additional mix-in ideas are listed below. 
Dairy-Free Chocolate Banana Sorbet
Description

Instructions

I love banana “soft-serve”! You can use this same method to make soft serve with either avocado or mangoes as well.
