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.
