How to Make 2-Ingredient Ninja Creami Watermelon Sorbet Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup+ cubed watermelon
- 1 cup+ coconut water
Directions:
Step 1: Preparation
Cut off the rind of your watermelon and chop it into cubes. This will ensure the sweetness of the fruit is ready to shine through in your sorbet.
Step 2: Mixing
Fill a Ninja Creami pint container with the diced watermelon, reaching the max fill line. Then, pour the coconut water into the cup, also up to the max fill line. This mix is all you need to create a deliciously smooth sorbet!
Step 3: Freezing
Add the lid securely on the pint container and place it in the freezer on a level surface. Allow it to freeze overnight, for at least 12 to 24 hours. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture.
Step 4: Finishing
When you’re ready to enjoy your sorbet, microwave the pint for 30 seconds or run the outside of the container under hot water for a couple of minutes. This will help release the sorbet from the container. Add the pint to the Ninja Creami machine and select the sorbet setting. If you find the sorbet is a little dry or chunky, simply re-spin until you achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
How to Serve 2-Ingredient Ninja Creami Watermelon Sorbet Recipe

How to Store 2-Ingredient Ninja Creami Watermelon Sorbet Recipe
Store any leftover sorbet in the pint container with the lid tightly sealed. It can last in the freezer for up to two weeks. To enjoy again, simply let the sorbet sit out at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften it slightly.
Expert Tips for Perfect 2-Ingredient Ninja Creami Watermelon Sorbet Recipe
- Select Ripe Watermelon: Choose a sweet, ripe watermelon for the best flavor. Look for a uniform shape, a creamy yellow spot where it rested on the ground, and avoid any with bruises.
- Coconut Water Substitutes: If you aren’t fond of coconut water, you can use regular water or even fruit juice like pineapple for a twist.
- Pre-Freeze Ingredients: If you want a faster sorbet experience and are short on time, you can freeze the watermelon cubes beforehand.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste your mix before freezing; if you want it sweeter, add a dash of honey or agave before the freezing step.
Delicious Variations
- Berry Bliss: Blend in a handful of strawberries or blueberries with your watermelon for an extra fruity boost.
- Minty Fresh: Add fresh mint leaves before spinning for a refreshing mint-flavored sorbet.
- Citrus Zing: Squeeze some fresh lime or lemon juice into your mixture for an energizing citrus punch.
- Tropical Twist: Replace coconut water with pineapple juice for a tropical getaway in your mouth.
