This Ninja Creami Mango Sorbet is made with just fresh mango and a splash of lime juice. It's creamy, naturally sweet, and spins up perfectly after freezing.
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 75kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups diced fresh mango (about 2-3 large mangoes)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (juice of ½ a lime)
- 1-2 tablespoons milk or coconut water (optional, for Re-Spin if needed)
Instructions
- Slice down both sides of the pit to remove the large halves, then score the flesh in a checkerboard pattern and slice the cubes off the peel. Alternatively, you can peel the mango first and cut the flesh into small chunks. Either way, you should have about 3 cups of diced mango.
- Add the diced mango and the juice of half a lime to a high-powered blender. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. The puree should be thick and silky. If the blender struggles to get going, add 1–2 tablespoons of water to help it blend but keep the mixture as thick as possible.
- Pour the mango puree into a Ninja Creami pint container. Tap the container lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles and smooth the top with a spoon if needed. Seal the pint with the lid and place it flat in the freezer. Freeze for at least 24 hours, until the base is completely solid.
- After freezing, remove the pint from the freezer. Place the pint into the Ninja Creami bowl assembly, secure the lid assembly, and lock it into the machine. Select the “Sorbet” function and let the machine complete the full cycle.
- Once the cycle is complete, remove the lid and check the texture. If the sorbet is smooth and creamy, scoop and serve immediately. If it looks crumbly or dry, use a spoon to make a small well in the center of the pint. Add 1–2 tablespoons of milk or coconut water, then Re-spin using the "Re-spin" function. It should become smooth and creamy after one Re-spin.
- Scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones and serve right away. Garnish with fresh mango slices or a sprinkle of lime zest, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes
- Mango selection: Use ripe red mangoes for the sweetest flavor. The mangoes should give slightly when pressed and smell fragrant at the stem. Red, Ataulfo, or Kent mangoes work well.
- Freezing tip: Make sure the pint freezes flat and solid for at least 24 hours before spinning. A soft or partially frozen base won’t spin properly.
- Texture adjustments: If the sorbet is crumbly after the first spin, don’t worry — a quick Re-spin with a splash of milk or coconut water will make it smooth and creamy.
- Storage: Store any leftover sorbet in the Ninja Creami pint with the lid on. Let it sit out for 5 minutes before re-spinning for best results.
