Notes
Ninja recommends freezing your creami bases for 24 hours, but I typically freeze mine for 8 and they come out perfect.
Ninja’s instructions state that you cannot use the “respin” feature followed by the “mix in” feature. I ALWAYS respin my dairy free ice cream or sorbet, because it needs this in order to be creamy, and I use the mix in function after with no trouble.
Before respinning, I recommend always adding a little bit more water or juice. Just enough to almost cover the top of the pint container is perfect, about 2-3 tsp. This will help ensure the final result is super creamy.
Storage instructions: Keep the leftovers in the ninja creami pint container & use a spoon to create a level surface with what’s left over. Place the lid back on and store until ready to enjoy again. You’ll need to go through the process again of using the “sorbet” feature, then adding a splash of lime juice & remixing again. Cherry sorbet will keep in the freezer up to 2 weeks for maximum freshness.
