Chocolate Banana Sorbet

This recipe is an extension of my prior Banana Sorbet. It has just one more ingredient, and is still super easy.

Periodically, I over-buy bananas, or I find that they ripen too quickly. This is a great way to use the bananas. And because I love the combination of chocolate and bananas, this flavor combination makes sense and works well.

Although, on my diet, I am not supposed to eat chocolate because it is derived from a bean, what I have found is that pure cocoa does not bother my digestion unless I consume it in large quantities. The powder form gives plenty of chocolate flavor with a minimal amount of actual cocoa (there is a lot of air in the powder) and so it is less impactful. I also suspect that most of what my body responds to in chocolate bars is the other ingredients such as the soy/sunflower lecithin.

Banana Sorbet

This is a super-easy sorbet for 2 reasons. First, it has only one ingredient: bananas. Second, unlike most fruits, bananas can be used in a sorbet without cooking them.
