Ingredients Needed for Ninja Creami Dragon Fruit Sorbet
1 bag of frozen dragon fruit, defrosted – I got this at Target
¼ to ½ cup water
2 tsps sugar
How to Make Dragon Fruit Sorbet
Blend the dragon fruit and water in a blender until smooth. Mix in sugar.
Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Secure the lid and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 24 hours, or until completely solid.
After the mixture is frozen solid, remove it from the freezer. Remove the lid and place the pint container into the Ninja Creami machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Choose the “Sorbet” setting on your Ninja Creami and let the machine do its magic. If the texture is not creamy enough, you may “Re-Spin” the mixture once or twice until it reaches your desired consistency.
Scoop the dragon fruit sorbet into bowls or cones and serve immediately. You can also store any leftovers back in the freezer for later enjoyment.
Dragon Fruit Sorbet Recipe Tips:
- For a smoother texture, you may blend the dragon fruit with the cream mixture before freezing.
- Customize your ice cream by adding mix-ins like crushed graham crackers or swirls of peach jam after the initial spin.
Best Ninja Creami Tips
- Ninja Creami’s can make smoothie bowls, ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and even milkshakes!
- Do I need to wait 24 hours for Creami? No, My frozen yogurt was ready to be blended in the Ninja Creami after 6 hours. Add image
- Never ever use frozen fruit in your ninja creami, blend it first. That is how you ruin the blade.
- Protein drinks like Fairlife and Premiere work great in a Ninja Creami. For a dairy free or lactose free option try OWYN protein shakes.
- Respin! If the blending didn’t work the first time try adding some more juice or milk to it and do a second respin.
- Run warm water around the frozen pint of ice cream to avoid icy edges.
