SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE HEALTHY TREAT

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the sorbet base (the exact measurements, nutritional information and full recipe are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post):

• Frozen mango chunks: Make sure they’re ripe before you freeze them for that natural sweetness. Can also use fresh mangoes.
• White sugar or your preferred sweetener: Adjust based on how sweet you like it. You could also try honey or agave syrup for a natural option.
• Water: This helps blend everything smoothly.
• A squeeze of fresh lime juice or lemon juice: Just a splash to brighten everything up and add that zesty kick.
• Optional: fruit juice, orange juice, fresh berries, heavy syrup, maple syrup, heavy cream, etc.

HOW TO MAKE

1. First things first, make sure your mango chunks are frozen solid. It’s what gives the sorbet its perfect texture.
2. Toss the frozen mango, sugar, water, and lime juice into a blender. You want everything to be smooth and well combined. Taste it once it’s blended; you can adjust the sweetness if needed.
3. Pour your mango mixture into the ninja creami pint container up to the max fill line. Freeze container for 24 hours until frozen solid.
4. Remove frozen pint, run under hot water for 60 seconds and install into your ninja creami machine. It’s important that your pint has a level surface, otherwise it can damage the blade. 
5. For the first spin, press the sorbet button. Remove the outer bowl lid. If ice cream is still powdery, then add back to machine and use re-spin function.
6. Check sorbet. The final product should be creamy and have a smooth texture. If your desired consistency isn’t reached you can add a bit more water and spin again on the respin setting. 
7. After the Ninja Creami has done its thing, you can enjoy it right away.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

1. Choose Ripe Mangoes: The ripeness of your mangoes is key. Ripe mangoes not only provide a natural sweetness but also a stronger, more vibrant mango flavor. If you’re using frozen mango chunks, taste them first to ensure they’re sweet and flavorful.
2. Pre-Freeze Your Mangoes Properly: If you’re using fresh mangoes, cut them into chunks and spread them out on a baking sheet to freeze. This prevents them from sticking together and ensures even freezing, which is crucial for a smooth sorbet texture.
3. Experiment with Sweeteners: Depending on your taste and dietary preferences, you might want to add a bit of sweetness to your sorbet. Options like honey, agave syrup, or a sugar substitute can enhance the natural sweetness of the mango without overpowering it. Start with a little, taste, and adjust.
4. Add a Splash of Lime: A little lime juice can go a long way in enhancing the mango flavor and adding a refreshing zing to your sorbet. The acidity cuts through the sweetness and balances the flavors beautifully.
5. Don’t Overfill: Pay attention to the max fill line on your Ninja Creami pint container. Overfilling can result in an unevenly frozen sorbet and may stress the machine. If you have extra mixture, it’s better to make a second batch.

FAQS

CAN I MAKE THIS NINJA CREAMI ICE CREAM RECIPE WITHOUT ADDED SUGAR?

Yes, you can! If your mangoes are ripe and sweet enough, you might not need additional sugar at all. You can also use natural sweeteners like honey or agave syrup as alternatives, adjusting the amount to suit your taste.

CAN I MAKE THIS RECIPE USING CANNED MANGO INSTEAD?

Using fresh mangos is recommended for the best flavor and texture, but in a pinch, a can of mangoes can work too. Just be sure to choose canned mangoes in juice rather than syrup, and drain it well before freezing.

HOW DO I ENSURE THE BEST TEXTURE WHEN USING THE NINJA CREAMI ICE CREAM MAKER?

For the creamiest texture, especially for homemade sorbet or ice cream, make sure to use the re-spin cycle if the initial spin doesn’t achieve the smoothness you desire. This is particularly handy when working with fresh fruit or ingredients that might not blend as easily on the first go.

CAN I USE FRESH FRUIT IN THE NINJA CREAMI FOR MAKING SORBET?

Absolutely! Fresh fruit, like ripe mango, can be used to create delicious, homemade sorbet with intense mango flavor. 

Just freeze the fruit beforehand, and for the best results, consider blending it with a light syrup or monk fruit sweetener before freezing to ensure a smooth, sweet sorbet perfect for hot summer days.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY ICE CREAM OR SORBET ISN’T CREAMY ENOUGH?

If your frozen treat doesn’t come out as creamy as you’d like, use the Ninja Creami’s re-spin function. Sometimes, a second spin is all it takes to break down any ice crystals fully and achieve that dreamy, creamy consistency.

CAN I MAKE SMOOTHIE BOWLS IN THE NINJA CREAMI?

Yes, the Ninja Creami isn’t just for ice cream and sorbet. You can also make thick, creamy smoothie bowls. Use the sorbet function with frozen fruits and minimal liquid to create a thick base perfect for topping with your favorite smoothie bowl ingredients.
