Note
For best texture, ensure bananas are very ripe (with brown spots) to maximize natural sweetness and ease of blending.
If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a tablespoon of water or extra fresh pineapple juice to help it along.
This sorbet is best served immediately after blending. If you need to prepare it ahead, store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 24 hours, but let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
You can substitute the shredded coconut with chopped toasted macadamia nuts or a splash of vanilla extract for a different flavor profile.
