Summer Sherbet Dessert

I got this recipe from a RS recipe swap. I haven't made it in a while so I don't remember all of the details, like how long to let the sherbet soften, but I do remember that I like it a lot. It's been a hit at the family parties I've taken it to in the past, though it does melt pretty easily. I'll have to make it this summer and then do an addendum with my tips. And pictures. :)

Summer Sherbet Dessert

1 carton pineapple sherbet
1 bag frozen raspberries
approximately 3 bananas, sliced

Soften sherbet, I usually do this by simply setting it on the counter for ... 20 minutes or so. Then empty softened sherbet into a mixing bowl and stir in raspberries and sliced bananas. Serve or refreeze. Remove from freezer about 20 minutes prior to serving.

So simple. I love that about this "dessert". A few thoughts/ideas: fresh vs. frozen fruits - fresh will mash easier while stirring, so if you don't want the fruit to be very mashed then I recommend using frozen fruits. If you freeze your bananas slice them first. If you want less dishes then stir and serve in the same bowl, preferably one with a lid. If you want a cleaner presentation then use separate bowls for stirring and serving. Lastly,
If you happen to have an ice cream maker like this one, then I suspect you could run it all through there to resolidify and possibly even for the mixing part.
