Ingredients

1 cup+ cubed watermelon
1 cup+ coconut water

Instructions

Step 1: Cut off the rind of your watermelon and chop the fruit into cubes.
Step 2: Fill a Ninja Creami pint container with the diced watermelon up to the max fill line. Pour coconut water into the container, filling it to the same max fill line.
Step 3: Secure the lid on the pint container and place it in the freezer on a level surface overnight, for 12 to 24 hours.
Step 4: When ready to prepare, warm the pint by microwaving it for 30 seconds or running the outside under hot water for a couple of minutes. Then, place the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and spin on the sorbet setting. The lite ice cream setting can also be used successfully.
Step 5: If the sorbet is dry or chunky after the first spin, simply re-spin until it reaches a smooth, creamy texture.

Tips & Variations

Use ripe watermelon for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
Try adding a squeeze of lime juice before freezing for a zesty twist.
For a creamier texture, blend the watermelon and coconut water briefly before freezing.

Storage

Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To enjoy again, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping or re-spin briefly in the Ninja Creami for the best texture.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use regular water instead of coconut water?

While regular water can be used, coconut water adds natural sweetness and a subtle flavor that complements the watermelon well. If using plain water, you might want to add a little sugar or sweetener.

What should I do if the sorbet is too icy?

If your sorbet turns out too icy, try re-spinning it in the Ninja Creami to improve the texture. You can also add a splash more coconut water before freezing, or blend the mixture briefly before freezing to incorporate air.

Ingredients

1 cup+ cubed watermelon (seedless recommended)
1 cup+ coconut water

Instructions

Prepare Watermelon: Cut off the rind of your watermelon and chop the flesh into cubes, ensuring the pieces fit comfortably into the pint container.
Fill Container: Place the diced watermelon into a Ninja Creami pint container up to the max fill line. Pour coconut water into the container to the max fill line, creating a balanced mixture.
Freeze Mixture: Secure the lid tightly and place the pint container on a level surface in your freezer. Freeze it solid for 12 to 24 hours to ensure proper consistency for spinning.
Prep for Spinning: When ready to make sorbet, microwave the pint container for 30 seconds or run the container under hot water for a couple of minutes. This softens the mixture slightly for easier spinning.
Spin in Ninja Creami: Insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and select the sorbet setting to churn the mixture into a creamy sorbet. Alternatively, the lite ice cream setting can be used with similar results.
Adjust Texture: If the sorbet appears dry or chunky after the first spin, simply run additional spins until the texture becomes smooth and creamy.

Notes

Use seedless watermelon for the best texture and easy preparation.
The freezing step is crucial to getting the right consistency – do not skip or shorten the freezing time.
Adjust re-spins if the sorbet is not creamy enough after the first spin.
Serving sorbet immediately after spinning yields the best texture, but leftovers can be stored in the freezer.
Enjoy this sorbet as a healthy, natural dessert free of added sugars.
