Ingredients You’ll Need
Getting ready to make this sorbet? The ingredients are straightforward, but each one plays a crucial role in delivering a beautifully balanced flavor and texture. From the frozen raspberries that provide natural tartness and color to the light agave syrup that adds just the perfect touch of sweetness without overpowering, every element here is essential.
- Frozen raspberries (500g): The star ingredient offering bright fruity flavor and rich color.
- Water (60g): Helps gently soften the berries for perfect blending and smoothness.
- Light agave syrup (125g): Adds natural sweetness while keeping the sorbet light and delicate.
How to Make Ninja Creami Raspberry Sorbet Recipe
Step 1: Gently soften the raspberries
Begin by combining your frozen raspberries with water in a saucepan placed over low-medium heat. Stir frequently and mash the berries as they soften, teasing out their natural juices. This step unlocks the fresh raspberry essence and ensures a silky base for your sorbet.
Step 2: Strain to remove seeds
Next, place a fine-meshed strainer over a bowl and carefully push the softened mixture through it with a spoon. This part takes about 15 minutes of gentle stirring, but it’s well worth it — you’ll end up with a smooth, seed-free raspberry puree that’s a joy to eat.
Step 3: Measure your puree
Once strained, you’ll have approximately 380g of luscious raspberry puree, leaving about 130g of seeds behind. This puree forms the creamy heart of your sorbet, so accurate measurement here helps maintain the perfect sorbet consistency.
Step 4: Mix in the sweetener and prepare the tub
Pour the puree into your Ninja Creami 470ml tub, add the light agave syrup, and give it a thorough stir. Make sure the mixture doesn’t exceed the fill line — if it does, remove a little. Pro tip: The raw puree is delicious on its own, so don’t be shy about sampling.
Step 5: Freeze the mixture
Place the tub, lid off, into your freezer for 16 to 24 hours until the mixture is solidly frozen. The exact time depends on your freezer’s strength, but patience here ensures the best sorbet texture later.
Step 6: Process in the Ninja Creami
Now comes the fun part. Use the sorbet function on your Ninja Creami to process the frozen puree. For an ultra-smooth and creamy texture, run the sorbet function twice — this extra step really elevates the mouthfeel and makes every spoonful delightful.
Step 7: Store any leftovers
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, keep them in the freezer with the lid securely on. Before your next serving, let the sorbet thaw just a bit so it scoops easily and shows off that perfect creamy consistency.
How to Serve Ninja Creami Raspberry Sorbet Recipe
Garnishes
Enhance your sorbet experience with simple garnishes like fresh mint leaves, a sprinkle of lemon zest, or whole raspberries placed on top. These touches add a fresh aroma and contrasting texture, making each bite even more special.
Side Dishes
Ninja Creami Raspberry Sorbet Recipe pairs beautifully with light desserts such as almond biscotti or crisp shortbread cookies. It can also provide a refreshing counterpoint to rich chocolate cakes or creamy cheesecakes, balancing sweetness and acidity perfectly.
Creative Ways to Present
For a whimsical touch, serve your sorbet in hollowed-out lemon or lime halves for a rustic, natural bowl. Layer it in a parfait glass with yogurt and granola for a sophisticated breakfast treat. Or get festive by garnishing with edible flowers for a wow-worthy presentation at dinner parties.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Your Ninja Creami Raspberry Sorbet Recipe keeps wonderfully in the freezer for several days. Just make sure to keep it covered tightly to prevent ice crystals from forming and preserve that fresh raspberry flavor.
Freezing
Freeze the sorbet base in the Ninja Creami tub as directed to achieve optimal texture. Avoid stirring or thawing the mixture before processing, as this can affect the final creaminess and consistency.
Reheating
Sorbet isn’t meant to be reheated like other foods. Instead, let it thaw at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to reach the perfect scoopable softness. If it gets too soft, simply pop it back into the freezer for a little while.
FAQs
Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen?
You can use fresh raspberries, but you’ll want to freeze them first to get the right texture for the sorbet. The Ninja Creami needs a fully frozen base to work its magic.
Is it possible to substitute agave syrup with another sweetener?
Absolutely! Honey or simple syrup can be good alternatives, but agave is preferred because it blends smoothly without crystallizing, keeping the sorbet silky.
How long does the sorbet last in the freezer?
Stored properly in an airtight container, your sorbet will stay delicious for up to two weeks, but it’s best enjoyed within the first few days for peak flavor and texture.
Can I double the recipe to make more servings?
Yes! Just be mindful of not exceeding your Ninja Creami’s fill line when freezing. You may need to split the batch into multiple tubs for processing.
What if my sorbet is too icy after processing?
If your sorbet turns out icy, running it through the sorbet function one more time usually smooths out the texture. Also, letting it thaw slightly before serving helps too.
