How to Make the Recipe
Let’s walk through the steps to make this sorbet. Don’t worry, it’s super straightforward!
- Add seedless watermelon chunks, lemon juice, sweetener (or sugar), and water to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture turns into a smooth liquid. If you’re watching carbs, the sweetener is a great option, but feel free to use white sugar if you prefer.
- Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container that came with your machine. Place the storage lid on the pint and put it in the freezer overnight. Make sure it’s on a level surface to freeze evenly.
- The next day, remove the storage lid and place the pint into the assembly bowl. Attach the lid and put it into the machine. Hit the sorbet button and let it work its magic. Once the cycle is complete, check the texture.
- If the sorbet has a powdery texture, attach the outer bowl lid again and run the sorbet cycle one more time. You may need to do this up to three times, but it might only need one cycle. Be careful not to over-process, as it can become slushy.
- Once smooth and creamy, scoop the sorbet into bowls. You should get about 2-3 servings from one container.
- If there are leftovers, smooth the top, place the storage lid back on, and freeze. When you’re ready to eat again, just run it through the machine as before.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some tips to ensure your Ninja Creami Watermelon Sorbet turns out perfectly every time:
- Use seedless watermelon for the smoothest texture.
- Freeze the mixture overnight to ensure it’s fully frozen before processing.
- Don’t over-process, as it can make the sorbet slushy.
- Experiment with different sweeteners or flavors to make it your own.
