Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut off the rind of the 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 container until it reaches the max fill line as well.
  3. Step 3: Secure the lid on the pint and place it in the freezer on a level surface. Freeze overnight for 12 to 24 hours.
  4. Step 4: When ready to prepare, warm the outside of the frozen pint by microwaving for 30 seconds or running it under hot water for a couple of minutes. Then insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and select the sorbet setting to spin. The lite ice cream setting works well too.
  5. Step 5: If the sorbet is dry or chunky after the first spin, simply re-spin until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture.

Tips & Variations

  • For added brightness, squeeze a little fresh lime juice into the watermelon before freezing.
  • Use chilled coconut water to reduce freezing time and improve texture.
  • If you don’t have a Ninja Creami, try blending frozen watermelon cubes with coconut water in a high-speed blender.

Storage

Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. Let it soften at room temperature for a few minutes before serving, or use the Ninja Creami’s re-spin function to restore creaminess.

FAQs

Can I use regular water instead of coconut water?

Yes, you can substitute coconut water with regular water, but coconut water adds natural sweetness and electrolytes that enhance the flavor and texture.

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

You can blend frozen watermelon cubes with coconut water in a powerful blender to create a similar sorbet, though the texture may be less creamy without the specialized machine.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup+ cubed watermelon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Watermelon: Cut off the rind of your watermelon and chop the flesh into cubes to ensure easy blending and freezing.
  2. Fill the Ninja Creami Pint: Place the diced watermelon into a Ninja Creami pint container up to the max fill line. Next, pour coconut water into the same container until it reaches the max fill line.

  4. Prepare for Processing: When ready, microwave the pint for 30 seconds or run its outside under hot water for a couple of minutes to slightly soften the mixture.
  5. Spin in Ninja Creami: Insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and select the sorbet setting for processing. Alternatively, the lite ice cream setting can be used if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe watermelon for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Ensure the pint container is placed on a level surface in the freezer to freeze evenly.
  • Microwaving or warming the pint slightly before spinning helps prevent machine strain and improves texture.
  • Re-spin the sorbet as needed to achieve your preferred creaminess.
  • For variation, you can add a squeeze of lime juice or a handful of fresh mint leaves, but this will increase the ingredient count.
