If you’re looking for a sweet and sour sorbet, look no further than soursop sorbet!
A soursop is a tropical fruit that is somewhat large, green, and prickly looking. It doesn’t actually have a prickly skin, but it has a spiky appearance. It can be found in warm and tropical regions of the U.S.
It isn’t commonly known on the mainland, but if you travel to Hawaii it’s easy to find!
Alex and I traveled to Hawaii last year and stumbled across this yummy fruit. One of our favorite parts of traveling is trying local food, including native fruits! We went to a farmers market and loaded up a bag full of different fruits we had never tried or even heard of.
What we didn’t realize until later that night was the soursop we purchased wasn’t going to be ripe enough to eat for almost a week and our trip was ending in two days. So we sadly never got to actually try the fruit while we were in Hawaii.
However, we were lucky to have a second chance at trying soursop last fall! We were driving back from a half marathon in Rhode Island when we stopped at a local Puerto Rican market. What did we stumble upon?
A container of soursop pulp! Our minds immediately went to the possibility of a Ninja Creami creation in the form of soursop sorbet!
The amazing flavor of the soursop sorbet really made us wish we had tried the actual fruit, but I’m sure we’ll have another chance.
Basically, heads up if you’re traveling to a tropical area: check around for a soursop and give it a try.
One of the best parts of this Ninja Creami sorbet recipe is that it only takes one ingredient!
So if you’re looking for a sweet and sour sorbet, grab some soursop pulp, 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!
- Where do I find soursop pulp? We were able to find it at our local Puerto Rican market! You may have a chance anywhere that sells tropical or unique items that aren’t in typical chain grocery stores.
- 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!

Ingredients
Instructions
Pour 2 cups soursop pulp 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 soursop 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.
