This is one of my favorite Ninja Creami sorbet recipes, and not just because it's one-ingredient (but that's a huge plus)!
Pear sorbet is a simple, creamy, and flavorful treat you can make in your Creami in a few minutes. It's that easy.
All you need is a can of pear halves in heavy syrup. The heavy syrup acts as a sweetener, so the resulting sorbet tastes just like pears, except in creamy sorbet form!
Growing up, I always enjoyed eating pears. I can't say they were ever my favorite fruit, but they were always something I would eat if given the chance. When I went to college, they were a staple at the dining hall, so I found myself having pear slices at least a few times a week. That's where I really fell in love.
The tough thing is, there's not a lot of pear desserts out there. So if it is your favorite fruit, how are you supposed to get that midnight sugar craving with your favorite fruit?
That's why we wanted to make pear sorbet. Because pears deserve to have their own special dessert just as much as the other fruits!
So if you love pairs (or at least like them), give this one-ingredient Ninja Creami sorbet recipe a try!
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!
- Can I use fresh pears? Sure! If you use fresh pairs, make sure they are peeled before pureeing. Also add in some sugar to sweeten the sorbet (I recommend at least 1/4 cup). You may also need some milk (whole, oat, almond, etc.) to make sure it's creamy!
- Do I need to get the pears in heavy syrup? I recommend the heavy syrup option because it sweetens the sorbet perfectly. If getting a can of pears in some other type of juice, you may need to add extra sugar to the recipe to ensure it comes out sweet!
- What should I do if my sorbet comes out crumbly after the first spin? I recommend adding a tablespoon of milk (any type will work) and re-spinning on Re-Spin. Repeat this process until you achieve the desired level of creaminess!
- 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!
- Do I need to re-spin my sorbet if I freeze it after spinning? I found the perfect way to enjoy sorbet another time is to let it sit on the counter for about 15 minutes, no spinning required. The wait is difficult, but it's worth it!

Using only a can of pear halves in heavy syrup, this pear sorbet recipe is simple and delicious!
To make this recipe in the Ninja Creami Deluxe, multiply all ingredients by 1.5
Note: 1 serving = 1 pint
- 1 can Pear Halves in Heavy Syrup (15 oz)
Pour a 15 oz can of pear halves in heavy syrup into a food processor.
Pulse for a few seconds until the pears are pureed.
Pour the pears into a Ninja Creami pint, ensuring it does not go past the max fill line.
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.
Now your pear sorbet is ready to enjoy!
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.
