Ingredients for Mango Sorbet Ninja Creami

• Ready to whip up this delightful treat? Here’s what you need!

For the Sorbet

Ripe mangoes – The star of our dish; choose well-ripened mangoes for unbeatable sweetness.
Full-fat coconut milk – Delivers that creamy texture and rich flavor; for a lighter sorbet, consider using light coconut milk or almond milk—though it may change the texture!

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Mango Sorbet Ninja Creami

Step 1: Prepare the Mangoes
Begin by selecting ripe mangoes, as their sweetness is crucial for your Mango Sorbet Ninja Creami. Slice the mangoes in half, remove the pit, and cut the flesh into cubes. Aim for about 2 to 3 cups of mango cubes, and enjoy the lovely aroma. Set aside the cubed mangoes for the next step.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients
In a blender, combine the fresh mango cubes with half a cup of full-fat coconut milk. Blend on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps. The vibrant color and delightful scent will make your mouth water, signaling it’s time to freeze.

Step 3: Freeze the Mixture
Transfer the smooth mango-coconut mixture into a freezer-safe container, spreading it evenly. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming. Place in the freezer for at least 12 hours, or until completely solid, keeping an eye out for a firm texture.

Step 4: Blend in the Ninja Creami
Remove the frozen mixture from the freezer. Install the pint into your Ninja Creami, ensuring it’s securely locked in place. Select the “Sorbet” function and blend for about 1 to 2 minutes, watching for the sorbet to transform into a fluffy, creamy delight that’s ready for tasting.

Step 5: Final Blend for Creaminess
For an extra boost of creaminess, add an additional tablespoon of coconut milk after the first blend. Reinstall the pint into the Ninja Creami and blend again for another 30 seconds until you achieve that perfect creamy consistency. The smooth, luscious texture is irresistible!

Step 6: Serve or Store
Use a scooper to serve your Mango Sorbet in bowls or cones, garnishing with fresh mint if desired. If you have any leftovers, transfer them back to the container and freeze. When ready to serve again, simply re-blend in the Ninja Creami for that delightful soft serve texture.

Make Ahead Options

These Mango Sorbet Ninja Creami delights are perfect for busy home cooks looking to save time! You can prepare the mango-coconut mixture up to 24 hours in advance by blending your ripe mangoes with coconut milk and storing it in a freezer-safe container. To maintain the best texture, cover the container tightly to prevent ice crystals from forming. When you’re ready to enjoy your refreshing treat, simply take the mixture out of the freezer, blend it in the Ninja Creami using the “Sorbet” function, then supercharge its creaminess with a tablespoon of coconut milk before serving. This way, you’ll be just moments away from a tropical escape at any time!

How to Store and Freeze Mango Sorbet

Fridge: Store any leftover Mango Sorbet in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Be sure to cover it to prevent ice crystals from forming on the surface.

Freezer: For longer storage, keep the sorbet in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Use a well-sealed container to help maintain the texture and flavor.

Reheating: When you’re ready to enjoy again, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Then, re-blend in the Ninja Creami for a smooth, creamy consistency.

Pro Tip: Always remember to refreeze any leftover Mango Sorbet once served to keep it fresh and delightful for your next craving!

Expert Tips for Mango Sorbet Ninja Creami

Choose Ripe Mangoes: Select perfectly ripe mangoes for the sweetest flavor; under-ripe fruits can result in a less satisfying sorbet.
Coconut Milk Consistency: Ensure the full-fat coconut milk is well-mixed for optimal creaminess. Stir well before using to avoid separation.
Adjusting Sweetness: If your mangoes are not sweet enough, feel free to add a touch of agave syrup or honey for a slight sweetness.
Proper Freezing: Allow the mixture to freeze thoroughly for at least 12 hours to achieve the ideal sorbet texture. Shorter freezing times may lead to a slushy consistency.
Re-blending Leftovers: When refreezing leftovers, use the Ninja Creami to re-blend the sorbet to bring back its creamy and fluffy texture, ensuring every bite is delightful!

Mango Sorbet Ninja Creami Recipe FAQs

How do I select ripe mangoes?
Absolutely! When selecting ripe mangoes, look for fruits that yield slightly to gentle pressure, which indicates softness and sweetness. Their skin should be a vibrant color, free from dark spots all over. If you can smell the sweetness, you’re good to go! If using frozen mango, ensure it’s unsweetened for the best flavor in your sorbet.

What’s the best way to store the mango sorbet?
You can store any leftover Mango Sorbet in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure to cover the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming. For long-term storage, keep it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Remember to put it back in the freezer after serving to keep it fresh and delicious!

Can I freeze the sorbet for longer storage?
Very! The Mango Sorbet can be frozen for up to 2 weeks without losing its delightful texture. Just ensure that it’s stored in an airtight container. When you’re ready to enjoy again, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before re-blending in the Ninja Creami to restore its creamy consistency.

What should I do if my sorbet turns out too icy?
If the sorbet ends up too icy, that’s typically a sign it wasn’t blended enough after freezing. To fix this, simply reinstall the pint in the Ninja Creami and run the “Sorbet” function again for 1-2 minutes until it’s creamy. If it’s still not smooth, consider adding a tablespoon of coconut milk during the blending process for a richer texture.

Is this sorbet safe for pets or those with allergies?
Definitely! This Mango Sorbet is dairy-free and contains only natural ingredients, making it a good option for many dietary considerations. However, be cautious with ingredients like coconut milk if your pet has allergies. For anyone with mango or coconut allergies, this recipe would not be suitable. Always consult a doctor for specific dietary concerns!

How can I make the sorbet sweeter if my mangoes aren’t ripe enough?
If your mangoes are not sweet enough for your taste, simply drizzle in a touch of agave syrup or honey while blending; start with a teaspoon and adjust to your preference. This addition will amplify the sweetness while keeping the sorbet refreshing and enjoyable!
