Ingredients

- 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 for 30 seconds or run the outside under hot water for a couple of minutes to soften slightly.

Tips & Variations
- For a more intense flavor, use ripe, seedless watermelon and adjust the coconut water quantity to taste.
- You can add a squeeze of fresh lime juice before freezing for a zesty twist.
- If you prefer a sweeter sorbet, a small amount of honey or agave syrup can be mixed in before freezing.
Storage
Store leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To serve, allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes or microwave briefly, then re-spin in the Ninja Creami for the best texture.

FAQs
Can I use regular water instead of coconut water?
Yes, you can substitute regular water, but coconut water adds natural sweetness and subtle flavor that enhances the sorbet.
What if I don’t have a Ninja Creami machine?
This recipe relies on the Ninja Creami for smooth texture, but you can try freezing the mixture in a shallow container and stirring every 30 minutes until set for a simpler sorbet alternative.

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup+ cubed watermelon (seedless, rind removed)
- 1 cup+ coconut water
Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon: Cut off the rind of your watermelon completely and chop the flesh into cubes suitable for blending.
- Fill Container: Add the diced watermelon into a Ninja Creami pint container up to the maximum fill line. Pour coconut water into the pint until it reaches the max fill line as well. Ensure you do not overfill.
- Freeze Mixture: Secure the lid tightly on the pint container and place it on a level surface in the freezer. Freeze for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours for best results.
- Prepare for Spinning: When ready to make sorbet, microwave the pint container for 30 seconds or run the outside under hot water for a couple of minutes. This loosens the frozen mixture enough for processing.
- Process Sorbet: Insert the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami machine and select the sorbet setting to spin and whip the mixture into a smooth sorbet. Alternatively, you may use the lite ice cream setting with similar results.
- Refine Texture: If the sorbet is too dry or chunky after the first spin, simply re-spin the pint as needed until the desired creamy consistency is achieved.
Notes
- Use seedless watermelon or remove all seeds before chopping.
- The coconut water adds natural electrolytes and subtle flavor but can be substituted with plain water if preferred.
- Freezing the mixture completely is crucial to get the correct sorbet texture.
- If the sorbet is too soft after processing, a quick refreeze before serving helps firm it up.
- This recipe is naturally vegan, gluten free, and dairy free.
- Adjust sweetness by choosing sweeter watermelon varieties or adding a natural sweetener if desired.
