how to make Watermelon Sorbet

Ingredients :

• 1 cup + cubed watermelon
• 1 cup + coconut water

Directions :

1. Cut off the rind of your watermelon and chop it into cubes.
2. Fill a Ninja Creami pint container with diced watermelon up to the max fill line. You can mash the watermelon a bit with a fork or blend it with the coconut water in a blender.
3. Pour coconut water into the cup up to the max fill line.
4. Add the lid and place the pint in the freezer on a level surface overnight, for 12-24 hours.
5. When you are ready to spin, microwave the pint for 30 seconds or run the outside under hot water for a couple of minutes.
6. Add the pint to the Ninja Creami machine and spin on the sorbet setting.
7. If the sorbet is a little dry or chunky after the first spin, you can re-spin it for a smoother, creamier texture.

how to store Watermelon Sorbet

If you have any leftovers, you can store the watermelon sorbet in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid on. Keep it in the freezer, and it should last for about a week. For the best texture, try to consume it within a few days.
