You can make Ninja Creami Mango Sorbet with just 2 simple ingredients. Get that smooth, creamy, fruity goodness in a dairy-free dessert that's perfect for summer!
Prep Base: Add frozen mango chunks to your pint container and pour the nectar over the top, reserving ¼ cup of the liquid in the fridge for later. Press the fruit down so it is fully submerged beneath the liquid line.
Freeze Solid: Secure the storage lid and freeze the pint container completely flat on a level surface for at least 24 hours.
First Spin: Remove the lid, lock the pint container into the outer bowl assembly, and secure it into the machine base. Press the "Sorbet" function button.
Re-Spin: Remove the outer lid, pour your reserved ¼ cup of mango nectar directly into the center of the pint, and run the "Re-Spin" function until velvety and smooth.
Notes
Reserve Liquid for Spinning: Do not freeze all the nectar. Keep ¼ cup in the fridge to pour into the center before running the "Re-Spin" cycle.
Protect the Machine Blade: The manual warns against spinning loose, solid frozen chunks. Press fruit down so it is fully submerged beneath the liquid line before freezing.
Freeze Completely Level: Freeze your pint flat for 24 hours. A slanted freeze can bend the machine's metal shaft or trigger error lights.
Fixing Powdery Textures: Dairy-free sorbets will look crumbly after the first cycle. Pour your reserved nectar into the middle and run "Re-Spin" for a velvety texture.
Eliminate Icy Outer Walls: If your freezer runs very cold, run warm tap water down the outside of the pint for 30 seconds before processing to smooth the edges.
Easy Nectar Substitutes: If mango nectar is out of stock, swap it with equal parts sweetened mango juice or standard orange juice.
The Canned Shortcut: Swap frozen fruit and nectar for a 20-ounce can of mangoes or peaches in light syrup. Dump the whole can in, freeze, and spin on "Sorbet" mode.
Storing Leftovers: Flatten the top surface of leftovers with a spoon before refreezing. To serve again, run the "Sorbet" or "Re-Spin" button to restore creaminess.
