Ingredients Needed for Lemon Sorbet
- ½ cup lemon juice or freshly squeezed lemon juice - The star of the sorbet, providing a bright and citrusy flavor
- ⅓ cup sugar - Balances the tartness and helps create a smooth texture
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup - Helps keep the sorbet soft and scoopable
- 1 cup of water - use fresh when they are in season
How to Make Lemon Sorbet in a Ninja Creami
- Blend the lemon juice, sugar, and water in a blender such as a Magic Bullet and pour it into a Ninja Creami Pint.
- Freeze: Place the lid on the pint and freeze for about 6-8 hours or until the mixture is solid.
- Blend in the Ninja Creami: Once frozen, remove the pint from the freezer and attach it to the Ninja Creami Machine. Select the "Sorbet" setting and let the machine do its magic.
- Check to see how the sorbet is looking after the first blend. Might have to add in some orange juice or water and then respin it.
- Serve: Once blended, scoop the lemon sorbet into a bowl and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing homemade ice cream!
