Fruit-tastic

When I was growing up, a favorite Passover dessert was a fruit “ice cream” made with eggs. Somehow using raw eggs no longer appeals to be – but I was looking for a light Passover friendly recipe.

And then I remember my Yonanas machine! With a Yonanas you need nothing but frozen fruit to make a delectable dessert. And the cookbook that comes with it has an astounding array of recipes – over 130. Yes you can pretty much replicate the results using a food processor or blender to pulverize the frozen fruit – but honestly, I think the Yonanas gives the best results! Pick one up online! Great for making instant desserts with grandchildren! This mixed berry recipe from is from Yonanas, the healthy dessert book (2015). Note most of the recipes start with a frozen banana; this one doesn’t but you’ll get far better results starting with a chunk of banana and alternating with the berries. It doesn’t get any fresher tasting or easier than this!

Mixed Berry Sorbet

1 frozen ripe banana, cut in three chunks

1 cup frozen mixed berries: strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries

Insert frozen mixed berries in the chute and push them down with the plunger. Repeat. Collect Yonanas in a bowl. Remove the chute assembly from the Yonanas maker base, unscrew the cone and scrape out any extra Yonanas that might be in there.
