Ninja Creami Creamy Blueberry Lemon Sorbet

Hey there, ice cream lovers! I’ve got a treat for you today. It’s a Blueberry Lemonade Sorbet that’ll knock your socks off. And the best part? We’re making it in a Ninja Creami.

I stumbled on this recipe while messing around with my Creami. Now it’s a summer staple at my place. Trust me, once you try it, you’ll be hooked too.

Here’s the deal: it’s super easy to make, but you’ll need to plan ahead. The prep only takes about 5 minutes, plus 2 minutes in the machine. But here’s the catch – it needs to freeze for 24 hours before churning. So, total time? About a day and 7 minutes.

This recipe makes one pint. Perfect for a small group or a couple of greedy spoon-lickers (no judgment here). Need more? Just double or triple it. But remember, each pint needs its own spin in the Creami.

What You’ll Need

Let’s talk ingredients:

• 1 TBSP cream cheese (softened)
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 1 1/3 cup pink lemonade (regular works too)
• 2/3 cup fresh blueberries

Equipment-wise, you’ll need a Ninja Creami. No Creami? You might be able to use a regular ice cream maker, but you’ll have to wing it a bit.

Let’s Make Some Sorbet!

1. First up, tackle that cream cheese. Mix it with the milk until it’s smooth as silk. Use a small blender if you’ve got one. If not, a fork and some elbow grease will do.
2. Now, throw in the lemonade and blueberries. Give it a good stir. It might look weird and curdled. Don’t panic. That’s normal.
3. Pour the mix into your Creami pint container. Don’t go past the max line! Pop it in the freezer for 24 hours. Pro tip: make sure it’s level.
4. Fast forward to tomorrow. Take out your frozen pint and level off any “dome” on top.
5. Lock it into your Creami and hit that Sorbet button. Let it do its thing for about 2 minutes.
6. Check it out. If it’s smooth and creamy, you’re golden. If it’s a bit crumbly, no worries.
7. Add a tablespoon of milk and hit Re-spin. You might need to do this a couple times. Patience, grasshopper. It’s worth it.

Mix It Up

Want to get creative? Here are some ideas:

• Go dairy-free with coconut cream instead of milk and cream cheese.
• Watching your sugar? Try sugar-free lemonade.
• Blueberry fanatic? Use blueberry juice instead of lemonade.
• Feeling fancy? Add a splash of limoncello (adults only, of course).

Serve It Up

Let your sorbet soften for about 5 minutes before scooping. Serve it in chilled bowls to be extra fancy. Want to impress? Add a sprig of mint or a lemon slice.

This sorbet is great on its own, but it’s amazing with some butter cookies or shortbread. The crunch with the smooth sorbet? Chef’s kiss

You can keep your sorbet in the freezer for about a week. If it gets too hard, let it sit out for 10 minutes, then give it another spin in the Creami.

Remember, making sorbet is all about having fun. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Before you know it, you’ll be a sorbet wizard!

Now go forth and create some creamy, dreamy, blueberry-lemonade magic!
