Ninja Creami Mango Sorbet
Description
Dairy-free Ninja Creami mango sorbet made with frozen mango, lime juice, and a touch of sweetener. Four ingredients, smooth after one re-spin, and bright enough to taste like fresh mango.
Ingredients
- 2 cups mango chunks, about 10 oz, softened 10–15 minutes
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, honey, or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoons water, or coconut milk. for the re-spin
Instructions
- Let the frozen mango sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes so it blends easily.
- Add the mango, water, sweetener, and lime juice to a blender. Blend until completely smooth with no visible chunks, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust sweetness — it should taste slightly sweeter than you want, since freezing mutes flavor.
- Pour the purée into a Ninja Creami pint container, stopping at the max fill line. Secure the lid.
- Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours.
- Remove the lid, place the pint in the outer bowl, lock it into the Ninja Creami, and press SORBET.
- The sorbet will likely look powdery after the first spin. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or coconut milk and press RE-SPIN. Repeat once if needed.
- Serve immediately, or press parchment against the surface and refreeze.
Equipment
- NInja Creami Machine

Notes
- Champagne or Ataulfo mangoes give the smoothest, least fibrous result.
- Sugar isn't only for sweetness; it lowers the freezing point and keeps ice crystals small. Cutting it too far will make the sorbet icy.
- Canned mango shortcut: pour one 20-ounce can of mango in syrup, juice and all, straight into the pint. Freeze 24 hours and spin. No blending needed.
- Deluxe pints hold more — scale the recipe up by about 50 percent.
