2-Ingredient Ninja Creami Watermelon Sorbet Recipe

Introduction

Enjoy a refreshing and naturally sweet treat with this 2-Ingredient Ninja Creami Watermelon Sorbet. Using just watermelon and coconut water, this simple sorbet is perfect for hot days and requires minimal prep.

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, also up to the max fill line.
3. Step 3: Secure the lid on the pint container and place it in the freezer on a level surface. Freeze overnight for 12 to 24 hours.
4. Step 4: When ready to prepare, soften the frozen contents by microwaving the pint for 30 seconds or running the outside of the container under hot water for a couple of minutes.
5. Step 5: Insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and select the sorbet setting to spin. Alternatively, you can use the lite ice cream setting if preferred.
6. Step 6: If the sorbet appears dry or chunky after the first spin, simply re-spin it until you achieve a smooth, creamy texture.

Tips & Variations

• For a more intense flavor, use ripe, sweet watermelon and chill the coconut water before freezing.
• If you want to add a citrus twist, sprinkle a little fresh lime juice over the watermelon before freezing.
• Swap coconut water with flavored sparkling water for a lightly fizzy sorbet.

Storage

Keep any leftover sorbet stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To serve again, simply let it soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes, then re-spin in the Ninja Creami if needed to restore creaminess.

FAQs

Can I use frozen watermelon instead of fresh?

It’s best to use fresh watermelon for this recipe to achieve the ideal texture before freezing in the pint container.

What if I don’t have a Ninja Creami machine?

This recipe is specifically designed for the Ninja Creami. Without it, you can try blending the frozen watermelon and coconut water manually, but the texture may differ.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 1 cup+ cubed watermelon (seedless preferred)
• 1 cup+ coconut water

Instructions

1. Prepare Watermelon: Cut off the rind from the watermelon and chop the flesh into small cubes to ensure easy blending and smooth sorbet texture.
2. Fill Container: Place diced watermelon into a Ninja Creami pint container up to the maximum fill line. Pour coconut water into the same container until it reaches the max fill line as well, ensuring the proportions are balanced.
3. Freeze: Secure the lid on the pint container and lay it flat in the freezer. Freeze overnight for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours to allow the mixture to solidify completely.
4. Pre-Spin Preparation: When ready to process, microwave the pint container for 30 seconds or run the outside of the container under hot water for a couple of minutes to slightly soften the contents and make spinning easier.
5. Spin in Ninja Creami: Place the pint container into the Ninja Creami machine and select the “sorbet” setting to spin the frozen mixture into a smooth sorbet. Alternatively, the “lite ice cream” setting can also be used without issues.
6. Adjust Texture: If the sorbet’s texture is still a bit dry or chunky after the first spin, simply use the re-spin function as needed to achieve a creamy, smooth consistency.

Notes

• Use seedless watermelon for the best texture and ease of blending.
• Ensure the pint container is filled to the max line but not overfilled to avoid damage to the machine or improper spinning.
• Freezing the mixture fully is crucial for optimal sorbet texture.
• If you do not have a microwave, hot water can be used to soften the pint before spinning.
• The sorbet is best served immediately but can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
