- Step 3: Secure the lid on the pint container and place it on a level surface in your freezer. Freeze for 12 to 24 hours until fully frozen.
- Step 4: When ready to make sorbet, warm the outside of the pint by microwaving it for 30 seconds or running it under hot water for a couple of minutes.

Tips & Variations
- Use ripe, sweet watermelon for the best natural flavor without added sugar.
- Feel free to substitute plain water for coconut water if coconut flavor isn’t desired.
- You can add fresh mint leaves before freezing for a refreshing twist.
- For a thicker sorbet, slightly reduce the amount of coconut water.
Storage
Store leftover sorbet in the pint container in the freezer. It’s best enjoyed within one week for optimal freshness. Before serving, you may need to let it soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes or re-spin in the Ninja Creami to restore creaminess.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use frozen watermelon instead of fresh?
Fresh watermelon is recommended as freezing before blending can affect texture. However, if you use frozen watermelon, ensure it is thawed slightly before filling the pint to avoid ice crystals.
Do I need to add sugar or sweeteners?
No, the natural sweetness of watermelon and coconut water is usually enough. If you prefer it sweeter, you can drizzle a little honey or agave before freezing.

Ingredients
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.
