Now that spring has sprung, it's a perfect time for a new Ninja Creami fruit sorbet!
When trying to find new recipe ideas, I love shopping the sales at local grocery stores. When browsing, I stumbled across a fantastic sale on fresh plums!
Obviously, I had to make them into plum sorbet.
One of the best parts of the Ninja Creami is being able to take almost anything and make it into a delicious dessert. This plum sorbet is no different!
I've never been too much of a plum eater, but I could eat this plum sorbet all day. It's the perfect mix of fruity and sweet with the perfect texture.
Plus, look at the beautiful, natural color! It definitely is an eye-catching Ninja Creami sorbet!
So if you're looking for a new sorbet, grab some plums, 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!

Plum sorbet is made with fresh plums to create a fruity and delicious sorbet with only 2 ingredients!
To make this recipe in the Ninja Creami Deluxe, multiply all ingredients by 1.5
Note: 1 serving = 1 pint
- 2 cup Pureed Fresh Plums (About 6 Plums)
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
Take about 6 plums and remove the pits.
Place them in a food processor and puree until smooth.
Pour the pureed plums (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 plum 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.
