What Is Ninja Creami Sorbet?
Homemade ice cream, frozen yogurt and sorbet is traditionally produced by churning the ingredients in a frozen tub. A paddle slowly scrapes the interior of the frozen bowl, magically transforming the liquid ingredients into the sweet scoops kids and adults love to enjoy on a hot summer day.
I first heard about the Ninja Creami while flipping through TikTok. Fitness influencers raved about the healthy high-protein recipes you can create and food bloggers exclaimed how easy it was to make perfectly creamy ice cream in minutes. So I obviously had to get the Ninja Creami to test it out for myself!
The Ninja Creami sells for around $200. Its technology is based on the $10,000 Pacojet, which is famously used in Michelin-star kitchens to make perfectly smooth sorbets and gelatos.
Ninja Kitchen has essentially produced a very affordable Pacojet, offering curious foodies fun new ways to make homemade ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt and sorbet.
The Ninja Creami and Pacojet create a smooth frozen dessert by working in the opposite manner of a traditional homemade ice cream maker. The sorbet ingredients are combined together then added to a pint, frozen for 24 hours until rock solid then made smooth thanks to the powerful blades in the Ninja Creami.
What Is A Ninja Creami?
The Ninja Creami is an innovative kitchen appliance that transforms frozen solid bases into ice cream, sorbets, frozen yogurts, milkshakes, and more at the touch of a button to make an incredibly smooth, creamy texture in minutes.
The one-touch programs allow for the perfect combination of speed, pressure, and time to completely shave through your frozen pint. Choose between Ice Cream, Sorbet, Gelato, Milkshake, Smoothie Bowl, Lite Ice Cream, and Mix-in.
The process is just 3 easy steps. Simply prep your base, freeze overnight, process, and enjoy!

Homemade Ninja Creami Sorbet Recipe Ideas
If you’re looking for a super simple sorbet recipe to make in your Ninja Creami simply purchase a can of your favourite fruit and follow our recipe below. Some of the most popular canned fruits to whip into a sorbet includes peaches, pineapple, apple, cherries, and pears. I like to use the Del Monte brand.

You can also make a Ninja Creami Sorbet recipe using fresh or frozen fruit with the addition of a liquid and sweetener.
Here are some of our favourite homemade sorbet ingredients to use in the Ninja Creami:
- Fresh Fruit: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, watermelon, kiwi, mango, cantaloupe, pineapple.
- Sweetener: brown or white sugar, corn syrup, agave, honey, maple syrup
- Liquid: apple juice, coconut water, white or rose wine, fruit liqueur like Cointreau
When making a sorbet from scratch using fresh or frozen fruit it’s best to blend the fruit, then add the liquid and use a spoon to taste the base to see how much additional sweetener it requires. You can always add more sweetener but you can’t take it out, so be conservative in how much you use.
If the fruit is very ripe it will have plenty of sugar in it so you may not need additional sweetener. I usually add 1 tablespoon of sweetener to a Ninja Creami Pint when making sorbet with fresh fruit to strike the best balance.
Be sure to blend all the ingredients together before pouring into the pint and freezing. Avoid having large chunks of frozen fruit as this can damage the Ninja Creami blades.
Ninja Creami Sorbet Recipe Tips
If it’s your first time making sorbet in a Ninja Creami we suggest reading our step by step recipe from top to bottom. Familiarize yourself with each step before you start getting set up in the kitchen.
Here are some helpful tips and tricks for first time Ninja Creami users:
- There are several Ninja Creami models now available, so purchase the machine that fits best with your price point and needs.
- If you’re making our 1-ingredient Ninja Creami Sorbet recipe simply purchase your favourite canned fruit, pour the fruit and syrup into a pint and blitz until smooth with an immersion blender.
- If you’re making a homemade sorbet base, gather your favourite fresh fruit, stir in a liquid like apple juice or coconut water and then taste and add any additional sweetener (such as agave or honey) to get the balance right before blending and freezing.
- Do not fill the pint past the max fill line. The liquid will expand during freezing, and you want the blade to have room to spin when you place pint of solid bases into the machine.
- If for some reason your Ninja Creami tub moves or slides in the freezer and the surface isn’t flat use a spoon (warmed under hot water in your sink) to help scrape and flatten the surface. Never add a tub into the appliance that is not flat as this can cause the blades to break.
- I’ve found that freezing the pint without the lid helps prevent the large peak from forming in the middle. If yours does have a peak, it’s okay. You’ll just want to shave off some of it with a metal spoon so the top is flat and level.
- The Ninja Creami pint container, once frozen, will be inserted into an outer bowl. The outer bowl lid contains the blade, which locks into place over the bowl. You can easily clean the blade after use by using the latch at the top of the lid.
- After going through one cycle on the sorbet setting do a re-spin and the texture should transform from crumbly to smooth. If the product is still crumbly add a glug of liquid (such as juice, coconut water, white wine or fruit liqueur) and re-spin and that should resolve the issue.
- Sometimes you can avoid a re-spin if you let the pint sit out at room temperature for a few minutes before running the first cycle.
- Once you have achieved a smooth texture you can scoop a well into the centre of the tub and add your favourite mix-ins like fruit, cookies and candy. Hit mix-ins and then grab a spoon, scoop and enjoy!
Sorbet Mix-Ins
When testing out the Ninja Creami for its sorbet making capabilities we wanted to be purists, simply mixing canned peaches before freezing.
It’s easy to add additional flavours and textures to your sorbet by selecting the mix-ins button on the Ninja Creami machine. Here are some of our favourite mix-ins:
- Fresh Fruit: like raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, sliced mango, ripe pear and peaches.
- Chocolate: finely chopped chocolate bars or chocolate chips.
- Cookies: homemade chocolate chip or store bought Oreos.
- Nuts: from roasted almonds to candied peanuts.
- Nut Butter: peanut butter or almond butter.
- Candy: M&Ms, peanut butter cups, marshmallows or sprinkles. Avoid gummy based candies as they turn rock solid in the freezer and can crack your teeth.
- Sauces: fudge sauce, caramel, butterscotch, strawberry coulis.
Storing Ninja Creami Sorbet
We always recommend making Ninja Creami Sorbet moments before you want to serve it as it’s perfectly smooth and easy to scoop once moved from the machine.
If you have leftover sorbet you can store it in the freezer again. Note that the contents will lose their scoop-able texture and once removed from the freezer will be solid as ice once again. You’ll need to re-spin the pint once more so it’s the desired texture and easy to eat.
Be sure to use a spoon to smooth out and level the top of the leftover sorbet in the Ninja Creami pint container before placing back in the freezer. Freezing with a level top will let you easily re-spin it in the Ninja Creami when you want to eat it again. This method will give you that same silky smooth texture.
Please note, if you added mix-ins, they’ll get chopped up when you re-spin.
If you want to free up your Ninja Creami pint container, you can transfer the leftover sorbet to another container and freeze. For this method, you won’t be able to re-spin it but letting it thaw on the container for a few minutes or zapping it in the microwave for just 5-10 seconds softens it and the texture is similar to freshly spun.
