With just two simple ingredients, you can make a vibrant Ninja Creami Raspberry Sorbet that’s naturally sweetened and free of refined sugar. Pear puree provides the sweetness and silky texture—no added sugar required.
This easy sorbet works with fresh or frozen raspberries, so you can enjoy it year-round. The recipe is quick to prepare and yields a bright, refreshing dessert perfect for hot days or any time you crave a light frozen treat.
Ingredients
What you need:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries — they bring the tart, tangy raspberry flavor.
- 1 cup pear puree — made from canned pears in juice or fresh pears blended until smooth. The pear puree adds natural sweetness and a creamy mouthfeel without refined sugar.
If you prefer fresh pears, blend ripe, soft pears to make the puree. Canned pears packed in juice work well too; simply blend to a smooth consistency and measure one cup. Any leftover puree can be frozen for later use.
How to Make Raspberry Sorbet in the Ninja Creami
- Blend: Combine the raspberries and pear puree in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and evenly colored.
- Freeze: Pour the blended mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Do not exceed the max fill line to allow for expansion. Seal with the storage lid and freeze for 24 hours until completely solid.
- Process: Insert the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami and select the sorbet setting. If the texture seems powdery after the first spin, use the respin function. Adding one or two tablespoons of water or fruit juice while respinning can help achieve a creamier texture.
- Serve: Scoop and enjoy immediately, or store the sorbet in the freezer until ready to serve.
Using Fresh Raspberries
Fresh raspberries work beautifully. Choose ripe berries for the best flavor and color. If they are very soft or slightly overripe, they blend more easily into a silky puree.
Fixing a Powdery Texture
A slightly powdery result is common on the first spin. Press the respin button on the Ninja Creami. If needed, add a few tablespoons of cold water or fruit juice and respin until the sorbet reaches a smooth, scoopable consistency.
Variations and Add-Ins
You can easily customize this base recipe. Combine raspberries with strawberries, blueberries, or a splash of citrus juice for extra brightness. Fresh herbs like mint or basil, or a drop of vanilla or almond extract, also make nice flavor twists. Keep additions minimal so the pear-sweetened fruit flavor remains the focus.
Cleaning the Ninja Creami
Cleanup is simple. The outer bowl lid, blade assembly, and pint container are removable and can be washed with warm, soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly before reassembling or storing.
Other Desserts to Make with the Ninja Creami
The Ninja Creami is versatile: use it to make vegan ice cream, smoothie bowls, slushies, or coffee-based frozen drinks. It’s a handy appliance for experimenting with healthier frozen desserts and using seasonal fruit.
