Ingredients

1 cup cubed watermelon
1 cup coconut water

Instructions

Step 1: Remove the rind from the watermelon and chop the flesh into cubes.
Step 2: Fill a Ninja Creami pint container with the diced watermelon up to the max fill line. Pour coconut water into the container until it reaches the max fill line.
Step 3: Secure the lid on the pint and freeze on a flat surface for 12 to 24 hours.
Step 4: When frozen, microwave the pint for 30 seconds or run the outside under warm water for a few minutes to loosen.
Step 5: Place the pint in the Ninja Creami and process on the sorbet setting. If desired, the lite ice cream setting also works well.
Step 6: If the sorbet is dry or chunky, simply re-spin until smooth and creamy.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh, ripe watermelon for the best sweetness and flavor.
For a slightly tart twist, add a teaspoon of fresh lime juice before freezing.
If the sorbet is too icy, add a bit more coconut water to the mixture before freezing.
Try substituting coconut water with plain water or other fruit juices for varied flavors.

Storage

If you don’t finish the sorbet in one serving, level off the top and return it to the freezer. When ready to enjoy again, re-spin in the Ninja Creami following the same instructions to restore its creamy texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
