Cut the cheeks off the sides of the mangoes, then slice the remaining flesh and skin off the stone. Peel and dice all the mango flesh and put it in your food processor. Add the bananas, yogurt, sweetener and vanilla extract and whizz until smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-proof container and freeze for 1 hour or until frozen around the edges but slushy in the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Using a fork, break up the ice crystals around the edge and stir into the slushy centre. Freeze for another 2-3 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Tip the sorbet into your food processor and whizz very briefly until smooth, then return to the container, cover and freeze for 3-4 hours or until firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Top and tail the pineapple, then cut away the skin around the outside. Cut the pineapple in half, then into quarters. Cut away the hard core and slice the flesh, then put it in a bowl and chill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. Move the sorbet into the fridge 10 minutes before you want to eat, so that it can soften a little. Scoop the sorbet into bowls and serve with the pineapple and mint sprigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MORE FOR MEMBERS: Slimming World members have access to more than 1,500 recipes on the exclusive members\u2019 website, including lots of ideas for ice-cold treats.
