2-Ingredient Ninja Creami Watermelon Sorbet Recipe

Introduction

This refreshing 2-ingredient watermelon sorbet is perfect for hot days and requires minimal effort. Made with just watermelon and coconut water, it’s a light, hydrating treat you can whip up quickly using your Ninja Creami.

Ingredients

• 1 cup+ cubed watermelon
• 1 cup+ coconut water

Instructions

1. Step 1: Cut off the rind of your watermelon and chop the flesh into cubes.
2. Step 2: Fill a Ninja Creami pint container with the diced watermelon up to the max fill line. Pour coconut water into the same container until it reaches the max fill line as well.
3. Step 3: Secure the lid on the pint container and place it in the freezer on a level surface overnight, or for 12 to 24 hours.
4. Step 4: When ready to prepare, microwave the pint for 30 seconds or hold it under hot water for a couple of minutes to loosen it slightly.
5. Step 5: Insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and spin on the sorbet setting. Alternatively, the lite ice cream setting also works well.
6. Step 6: If the texture is dry or chunky after the first spin, simply re-spin until you achieve a smooth, creamy sorbet.

Tips & Variations

• If your sorbet isn’t finished, level off the top, re-freeze it, and re-spin using the same method when ready to serve again.
• Try adding a squeeze of lime juice before freezing for a zesty twist.
• For extra sweetness, a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup can be mixed in before freezing.

Storage

Store any leftover sorbet in the pint container covered and tightly sealed in the freezer. It keeps well for up to one week. To serve after storage, re-spin in the Ninja Creami for the best texture and freshness.

FAQs

Can I use regular ice cream makers instead of the Ninja Creami?

This recipe is designed specifically for the Ninja Creami, which requires the mixture to be frozen solid before processing. Traditional ice cream makers may require a different preparation method, so results could vary.

Do I need to peel the watermelon before cubing?

Yes, always remove the rind before cutting the watermelon into cubes to ensure a smooth sorbet without any tough or bitter bits.

Notes

• If you don’t finish the sorbet, level off the top and refreeze. When ready to eat again, spin following the same instructions to restore the creamy texture.
• Ensure the Watermelon and coconut water quantities do not exceed the max fill line of the Ninja Creami pint container to avoid poor results.
• Warming the pint container slightly before spinning helps achieve a smoother sorbet.
