2-Ingredient Ninja Creami Watermelon Sorbet Recipe
Introduction
This refreshing 2-Ingredient Ninja Creami Watermelon Sorbet is a perfect way to enjoy a healthy, fruity treat. With just watermelon and coconut water, you can create a smooth, naturally sweet sorbet in your Ninja Creami machine.
Ingredients
- 1 cup+ cubed watermelon
- 1 cup+ coconut water
Instructions
- Step 1: Cut off the rind of your watermelon and chop the flesh into cubes.
- Step 2: Fill a Ninja Creami pint container with the diced watermelon up to the max fill line, then pour coconut water into the container up to the max fill line.
- Step 3: Secure the lid on the pint and place it in the freezer on a level surface overnight, for 12 to 24 hours.
- Step 4: When ready to prepare, microwave the pint container for 30 seconds or run the outside under hot water for a couple of minutes to soften slightly. Then add the pint to the Ninja Creami machine and spin on the sorbet setting. Alternatively, use the lite ice cream setting if preferred.
- Step 5: If the sorbet seems dry or chunky after the first spin, re-spin as needed until it reaches a smooth, creamy texture.
Tips & Variations
- Use ripe, sweet watermelon for the best flavor and natural sweetness without added sugar.
- Try adding a squeeze of lime juice before freezing for an extra bright twist.
- If coconut water is not available, plain water or herbal tea can be used, but coconut water enhances the flavor and texture.
Storage
Store leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To enjoy again, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping, or re-spin in the Ninja Creami to restore its creamy texture.

FAQs
Can I use frozen watermelon instead of fresh?
It’s best to use fresh watermelon for the initial freezing step, as fresh fruit offers better texture and flavor. However, if using frozen, thaw it slightly and adjust the amount of coconut water to maintain consistency.
What if I don’t have a Ninja Creami machine?
This recipe is designed specifically for the Ninja Creami. Without it, you can try freezing the mixture in a shallow container and stirring every 30 minutes until frozen, but the texture may be less smooth.

Ingredients
- 1 cup+ cubed watermelon, rind removed
- 1 cup+ coconut water
Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon: Cut off the rind of your watermelon and chop the flesh into cubes to create fresh watermelon chunks for the sorbet base.
- Fill Container: Place the diced watermelon into a Ninja Creami pint container, filling up to the max fill line. Pour coconut water into the same container up to the max fill line to balance hydration and sweetness.

- Soften Before Spinning: When ready, soften the frozen pint by microwaving for 30 seconds or running the container under hot water for a couple of minutes to ease processing.
- Spin Sorbet: Insert the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami machine and process it on the sorbet setting for a smooth texture. Alternatively, the lite ice cream setting can also be used.
