Susan’s Tips for the Best Watermelon Sorbet

• Make sure your watermelon is ripe and sweet. The riper the melon, the better this tastes.
• Start with 2 teaspoons of monk fruit and taste the juice before adding more.
• Strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer if you want an extra smooth sorbet.
• A seedless watermelon makes blending faster, with no picking out seeds.

How to Make Ninja Creami Watermelon Sorbet

1. Step 1: Prep your watermelon. Cut your fresh watermelon into cubes and place them in your blender. Blend until completely smooth. Measure out 1 and 1/2 cups of watermelon juice. If you want an extra smooth sorbet, pour the juice through a fine mesh strainer before using.
2. Step 2: Fill your pint. Pour the watermelon juice into your Ninja Creami pint. Add the monk fruit sweetener and a small pinch of salt. Then pour in water until you reach the max fill line on the pint, which is about 1/2 cup. Give it a gentle stir to combine.
3. Step 3: Freeze overnight. Put the lid on your pint and place it in the freezer. You need it to freeze for a full 24 hours. I always make mine the night before I want to serve it. Pro tip: Make sure the top of your mixture is flat and level before freezing. If it has a mound in the center, use the back of a spoon to smooth it out. The Ninja Creami processes better with a level surface.
4. Step 4: Process on the Sorbet setting. Take your pint out of the freezer and let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes. Then run the outside of the pint under warm water for 60 seconds. Place it in your Ninja Creami, lock it in, and run it on the Sorbet setting.
5. Step 5: Re-spin if needed. Once it finishes, check the texture. If it is not quite smooth enough, run it through the Re-spin cycle. That usually does the trick and gives you that perfect creamy sorbet texture.

Easy Watermelon Sorbet Variations

• Watermelon lime: Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice before freezing for a bright watermelon lime sorbet.
• Honey sweetened: Swap the monk fruit for honey or agave.
• Fresh mint: Blend a few fresh mint leaves right in with the watermelon.
• Sweet and spicy: Sprinkle a little Tajin on top just before serving.
• Strawberry watermelon: Swap 1/2 cup of the watermelon for fresh strawberries before blending.

Storing Leftover Watermelon Sorbet

Smooth the top flat, put the lid back on, and pop the pint back in the freezer.

The next time you want a scoop, run it through the Re-spin cycle and it comes out like new.
