Raspberries – Fresh or frozen raspberries will work here. If using fresh making sure to rinse them really well and discard any moldy or bad looking ones- fresh raspberries can spoil very quickly. If using frozen berries make sure to allow them to thaw for 30 – minutes – 1 hour before blending.

Lemon juice – Raspberries are pretty tart already but I still like to add a little bit freshly squeezed lemon juice for freshness.

Sugar – Cane sugar or granulated white sugar helps to sweeten the raspberry sorbet and it makes sure your sorbet has a soft and creamy texture. Without adding some sort of sweetener your sorbet will be icy and hard.

How To Make Ninja Creami Raspberry Sorbet

All ingredients, measurements, and instructions are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Blended raspberry sorbet in a container.

If using frozen raspberries, allow them to thaw for at least 30 minutes – 1 hour before getting started. If using fresh raspberries make sure they are well rinsed and any bad-looking berries are removed.

Into a blender add raspberries, cane sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth then transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, making sure the mixture doesn’t go over the max fill line.

Top with the lid then freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours.

The next day, remove the lid then place the pint container into the ninja creami outer bowl, secure it with the Creami lid then insert it into the machine.

Press the SORBET button then allow it to run through the cycle. This usually takes about 2 minutes.

Remove the pint container from the machine. If your sorbet has a crumbly texture and can’t easily be spread out with a spoon, run it through the RESPIN cycle with a splash of fruit juice. Repeat it until reaches your desired level of creaminess. Scoop, serve, and enjoy!

Frequently asked questions

Can I put frozen berries in my Ninja Creami?

No, frozen hard berries can possibly damage the blades of your Ninja Creami machine. It’s best to allow your frozen fruit to thaw for at least 30 minutes then blend it until smooth using a traditional blender.

Why is my Ninja Creami Sorbet crumbly?

Check the setting of your freezer it might have been set to a really cold setting. If your freezer is too cold then try leaving your sorbet out on the counter for 5 – 10 minutes before enjoying.

Why is my sorbet icy?

A high water content and/ or too little sugar can cause your sorbet to turn out icy. This recipe is made without water just fresh or frozen berries, sugar, and lemon juice. This helps the sorbet remain soft even when frozen. For the sugar, I find that 4 tablespoons are enough to make sure that the sorbet is soft and sweet enough.

What is the difference between sherbet and sorbet?

Sherbet and sorbet are similar in that they are both fruit desserts made with fruit and sugar. The main difference is that sherbets include dairy-like milk or cream and have a consistency closer to ice cream and sorbets are completely dairy-free.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Make sure the raspberry puree doesn’t go over the max fill line.
Once frozen the mixture might sometimes have a dome top, especially if I filled it right to the max fill line. I like to scrap that off and make sure it leveled before blending inside the Ninja Creami machine.

Make ahead and Storage Instructions

Storing. If you have any leftovers I like to transfer them to these ice cream storage containers so I use my Ninja Creami pint container to make another batch of sorbet!
Freezer. Your sorbet can last for several weeks in the freezer if stored in an air-tight/freezer-safe container. When you are ready to enjoy your leftovers, allow them to sit on the counter for 5 – 10 minutes before eating, so it won’t be as hard and have a creamy texture again.
Make ahead. You can blend the ingredients together and then keep the sorbet base in the freezer until you are ready to blend it in your machine.
