What You Need to Know

Prep Time:
You’ll only need about 5 minutes to prep everything. But heads up—you’ll need to freeze the mixture for 24 hours before spinning it into sorbet.

Servings:
This recipe makes 2-3 servings. Want more? Just double the ingredients (but don’t overfill your Ninja Creami pint container).

Skill Level:
Beginner-friendly. If you can blend and freeze, you’ve got this!

Tools You’ll Need:

• Ninja Creami machine
• Blender or food processor
• Ninja Creami pint container

No Ninja Creami? No problem! You can use a high-powered blender or food processor instead. It won’t be as creamy, but it’ll still taste amazing.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 heaping cups of pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen): Fresh is best, but frozen works great too.
• ½ cup water: Helps everything blend smoothly.
• Optional sweetener (1-2 tablespoons): Add if your pineapple isn’t sweet enough. Try sugar, agave syrup, or monk fruit sweetener.

Substitutions:

• No fresh pineapple? Use canned pineapple in juice—just skip the water since it’s already juicy.
• Want extra flavor? Swap water for coconut milk or pineapple juice.

How to Make It

Let’s break this down step by step:

1. Blend It Up
   Toss your pineapple chunks and water into a blender. Add sweetener if needed. Blend until smooth—like a thick smoothie. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary. Tip: If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let the pineapple thaw a bit or add an extra splash of water.
2. Freeze It
   Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container. Don’t go past the max fill line! Smooth the top with a spatula if needed and freeze for at least 24 hours.
3. Spin It
   Take the frozen pint out of the freezer and let it sit for 5 minutes (or run warm water over the sides for 60 seconds). Pop it into your Ninja Creami and select “Sorbet.” Pro Tip: If it’s crumbly after spinning, hit “Re-spin” for that perfect creamy texture.
4. Adjust If Needed
   Still not creamy? Add 1-2 teaspoons of water directly to the pint and spin again until smooth.
5. Serve & Enjoy
   Scoop it into bowls or cones and dig in! Silky, smooth, and oh-so-refreshing.

Make It Your Own

Here are some fun ways to customize your sorbet:

• Add Some Heat: Sprinkle on Tajín or mix in a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick.
• Go Fancy: Top with toasted coconut flakes or drizzle with honey.
• Mix It Up: Combine pineapple with other fruits like mango or strawberries for new flavor combos.
• Make It Seasonal: Swap pineapple for apples in fall or mix in summer berries.

Serving & Storing Tips

• How to Serve: Scoop into chilled bowls or waffle cones for an extra treat. Feeling fancy? Serve in dessert glasses with a garnish of mint or coconut flakes.
• Leftovers? Store them in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid on tight. Freeze for up to one week.
• Re-spin Magic: If leftovers harden, just pop them back into the machine and re-spin before serving.

And there you have it! A simple, delicious way to bring tropical vibes to your table any time of year. Whether you’re cooling off on a hot day or just craving something fruity and fresh, this pineapple sorbet is sure to hit the spot. Happy blending—and even happier eating!
