Introduction

Ingredients
- 1 cup+ cubed watermelon
- 1 cup+ coconut water
Instructions
- Step 1: Cut off the rind of your watermelon and chop the flesh into cubes.
- Step 2: Fill a Ninja Creami pint container with diced watermelon up to the max fill line. Pour coconut water into the same container until it reaches the max fill line.
- 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.
- Step 4: When ready to prepare, microwave the pint for 30 seconds or run the outside under hot water for a few minutes to loosen it. Insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and spin using the sorbet setting. The lite ice cream setting can be used as an alternative.
- Step 5: If the sorbet appears dry or chunky after the first spin, simply re-spin until the texture is smooth and creamy.
Tips & Variations
- Use ripe watermelon for maximum sweetness and flavor without adding sugar.
- Try swapping coconut water with fresh lime juice for a tangier twist.
- If you don’t have a Ninja Creami, try blending the frozen mix in a high-powered blender until smooth.
Storage
Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer. For best texture, consume within 3 days. Before serving again, briefly soften the sorbet by letting it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes or run the container under warm water until it’s easy to scoop.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup+ cubed watermelon
- 1 cup+ coconut water
Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon: Cut off the rind of your watermelon and chop the flesh into cubes to ensure even freezing and easy processing in the Ninja Creami.
- Fill Pint Container: Place diced watermelon into the Ninja Creami pint container up to the max fill line, then pour coconut water into the cup up to the max fill line, maintaining the freezing capacity and liquid ratio.
- Freeze Overnight: Secure the lid tightly and place the pint container on a level surface in the freezer. Freeze for 12 to 24 hours to ensure it is completely solidified before processing.
- Prepare for Creami Spin: Before spinning, microwave the pint container for 30 seconds or run the outside under hot water for a couple of minutes. This softens the frozen mixture slightly, allowing for a better sorbet texture.
- Spin Sorbet: Insert the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami machine and select the sorbet setting. Alternatively, the lite ice cream setting can be used without issues for a smooth finish.
- Adjust Texture: If the sorbet appears dry or chunky after the first spin, use the re-spin function on the Ninja Creami until the texture becomes smooth and creamy as desired.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe watermelon for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- If you don’t have coconut water, plain filtered water can be used, but coconut water adds a subtle sweetness and electrolytes.
- Ensure the pint container is on a level surface in the freezer to prevent uneven freezing.
- The re-spin function can be used multiple times to achieve the perfect sorbet texture.
- Serve immediately for the best creamy texture or store in the freezer and let soften slightly before serving.
