Ingredients
- 1 cup+ cubed watermelon (seedless)
- 1 cup+ coconut water
Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon: Cut off the rind of your watermelon and chop the flesh into cubes ensuring they are seedless or seeds are removed for an ideal texture.
- Fill Pint Container: Place the cubed watermelon into a Ninja Creami pint container up to the max fill line. Pour coconut water into the container to also reach the max fill line, creating a balanced ratio of fruit and liquid.
- Freeze Overnight: Secure the lid on the pint container and place it on a level surface in the freezer. Allow the mixture to freeze solid for 12 to 24 hours to ensure it is ready for processing.
- Prepare for Spinning: Before spinning, microwave the pint container for 30 seconds or run warm water over its exterior for a couple of minutes to slightly soften the outer edges, making it easier for the machine to process.
- Spin Sorbet: Insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and select the ‘sorbet’ setting to spin and transform the frozen mixture into a creamy sorbet. Alternatively, the ‘lite ice cream’ setting can also be used with good results.
- Re-spin if Needed: If the texture appears dry or chunky after the first spin, simply spin the sorbet again to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency perfect for serving.
Notes
- Ensure watermelon is cubed evenly and is mostly seedless to avoid texture issues.
- Freezing time is critical for proper consistency; do not shorten freezing time below 12 hours.
- Re-spinning helps improve texture, so don’t hesitate to spin more than once.
- Can be customized by adding a squeeze of lime or fresh mint for extra flavor, though this will be a variation beyond the 2-ingredient base recipe.
- Use cold coconut water for best freezing results and flavor balance.
