So two years ago I hopped on the Ninja Creami train because it looked so fun. I had decided I wasn't going to post recipes because it is really a niche gadget but now I find myself losing my recipes and not remember which were the good ones... so let's start posting them somewhere! This sorbet recipe is our absolute go to for all kinds of fruit, my favorite is strawberry. We've used it for strawberry, blueberry, peaches, and even mango. Sometimes when we have a mix of berries - we toss them all in and give it a whirl. It's simple, a pound of fruit and a quarter cup of sugar. Toss it in the chopper add the sugar, freeze in the pints. We were at our favorite odd grocery store a few nights ago and we got 4 pounds of strawberries for $4. Yes that's an amazing deal! They were a bit on the ripe side so I knew we needed to use them soon, sorbet was the perfect thing for ripe fruit! Nicholas cut up and pureed the fruit in the chopper. It's important to let it sit in the freezer for 24 hours so we had to wait - that's why anyone who gets this insanely LOUD machine I suggest they get more pints. That way you always have something ready to go in the freezer. We waited a few nights and last night I spun up two pints for the four of us. The perfect cool treat that we all love.
Ninja Creami Strawberry Sorbet
Ingredients
16-ounce container of fresh strawberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Wash, hull, and halve the fresh strawberries. Place in the bowl of a food processor.
Add sugar to the bowl of the food processor. Puree until smooth.
Transfer mixture to a Ninja Creami pint container and secure the lid. Place on a level surface in the freezer and freeze for 24 hours.
Remove pint container from freezer and remove lid. Place pint into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and lock the outer bowl lid into place.
Secure the outer bowl into the Ninja Creami machine. Press the Sorbet button and let the cycle run (this should take about 2 minutes).
Remove outer bowl from machine and take off the lid. If the mixture appears crumbly, add a tablespoon of lemon juice, then return to the machine and press the Re-Spin button. If necessary, repeat re-spin cycle until desired texture is achieved.
Scoop and serve!
