Keyword banana, gelato, ice cream, watermelon

Ingredients

  • 5 cups frozen cubed watermelon see note
  • 1 cup sliced overripe banana (frozen or room temp) see note
  • 1/2 - 1 tbsp coconut nectar or cassava syrup OPTIONAL (see note)
  • 1-2 tbsp raw cashew butter, OPTIONAL (see note)

Instructions

  • Add watermelon and banana to a food processor (if you prefer to use a blender, it must be high-speed for this recipe).
  • Pulse to first mince the frozen fruit, and then once in slivers or small pieces, switch to puree.
  • Puree until smooth, stopping to scrape down food processor once or twice.
  • Taste, and if you’d like it a little sweeter, add the sweetener to taste.
  • Serve, or transfer to the freezer for an hour or more for a firmer set gelato.

Notes

Notes:
  • Sweetener is truly optional, there is usually enough natural sweetness in the watermelon and ripe banana.
  • For additional 'creaminess', add 1-2 tbsp raw cashew butter
