One of my favorite new ways to eat fresh fruit is by making a sorbet in the Ninja Creami! One of the best sorbet recipes so far is this easy recipe for kiwi sorbet.
While this is not a typical dessert (you probably won’t find it on the menu at any restaurants), this kiwi sorbet deserves at least a taste. The fresh fruit really shines in this sorbet, and the refreshing flavor will definitely keep you coming back for more.
As a self-proclaimed kiwi-head, I am in love with this sorbet recipe. The best part: it only has three ingredients. Fresh kiwis, granulated sugar, and milk! Easy to make, even easier to eat the whole pint.
When I was growing up, my dad and I would often sit at the counter and eat a kiwi or two together. My mom and brother weren’t huge fans, so we always got them all to ourselves! We didn’t get them often, but when we did, I loved sitting with him and scooping the kiwis out with a spoon to enjoy.
When trying to decide what new sorbet flavor to try, Alex and I often look at what fruit is on sale at our local Aldi. They often have great prices on produce, and we were able to snag a pack of 10 kiwis for $3!
When making the sorbet, you may need to re-spin it if the mixture comes out crumbly after the initial run through the Ninja Creami. We just added a dash of milk, re-spun, and the texture came out creamy and perfect!
So if you’re a kiwi-head like me (or just want to try a fun and fruity sorbet), grab some kiwis, a Ninja Creami pint, and get spinning!

First Time Using the Ninja Creami or Looking for Tips?
While the Ninja Creami is a machine with only 7 (or 11) buttons, it can still be intimidating! Here are a few tips and tricks Alex and I have picked up since beginning our ice cream journey with the Ninja Creami!
- What button should I use to spin my sorbet? I recommend the “Sorbet” button (naturally). Since this mixture is almost all fruit, the sorbet setting will be the best option!
- My sorbet came out crumbly after my first spin. What should I do? Don’t worry! All you need to do is add a little bit of liquid and re-spin. We added a dash of milk, hit the “Re-Spin” button, and the texture came out perfect. Just repeat this method until you get the desired texture.
- Do I need to re-spin my sorbet if I freeze it after spinning? I’ve found that the easiest way to enjoy sorbet on the second day (or after a spun sorbet has been frozen again) is to let the pint sit on the counter for about 10 – 15 minutes. This will allow the sorbet to thaw and get back to that creamy texture we all love. However, if you decide to re-spin, the sorbet may be crumbly again, but you can fix that with a little milk and a re-spin!

Ninja Creami Kiwi Sorbet Recipe
Description
Kiwi sorbet uses fresh kiwis, sugar, and milk to create a delicious and creamy sorbet. This simple recipe, using only 3 ingredients, is a fruity and refreshing treat that is perfect for any time of year!
To make this recipe in the Ninja Creami Deluxe, multiply all ingredients by 1.5
Note: 1 serving = 1 pint
Ingredients
Instructions
Take 10 kiwis and remove the skin.
I find it's easiest to use a spoon to scoop out the insides.
Use a food processor to puree the kiwis.
Pour the pureed kiwis (approximately 2 cups) into the Ninja Creami pint, ensuring the liquid does not go over the max fill line.
Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar into the pint. Use a fork or whisk to stir.
Freeze the pint for 24 hours, making sure it is placed on a flat surface in the freezer.
After 24 hours, remove the pint from the freezer, and plug in your Ninja Creami machine! Time for the magic.
Remove the lid from the pint and grab the Ninja Creami outer bowl. Place the pint securely into the outer bowl and cover with the lid. Once the lid is on, place the outer bowl into the machine, twisting to the right until it locks into place. Press the "Sorbet" button and (try to) wait patiently for the creamy treat coming your way.
Once the process is finished, press and hold the button on the left side of the Creami to twist the bowl to the left and remove it from the machine. Twist the lid off of the outer bowl and remove the pint.
If the sorbet is crumbly, add a dash of whole milk into the pint and press the "Re-Spin" button.
Repeat until sorbet is the desired texture.
Now your kiwi sorbet is ready to enjoy!
Note
If you don't like following recipes, don't worry - you can customize it however you want! We personally use oat milk and coconut cream to avoid most of the dairy, and it's some of the best ice cream we've ever had.
