How to Use a Ninja Creami:

Using a Ninja Creami to make sorbet is straightforward and fun. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Equipment:

• Ninja Creami machine
• Freezer-safe container (usually comes with the Ninja Creami)

Steps:

1. Prepare your Ice Cream or Sorbet mix
   • Mix your chosen ice cream or sorbet mix, making sure to taste and adjust the sweetness or tartness if necessary.
2. Freeze the Mixture:
   • Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami’s freezer-safe container, making sure it doesn’t exceed the MAX FILL line.
   • Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 24 hours. This is crucial for the Ninja Creami to work properly.
   • Make sure to place the container in the freezer on it’s bottom so that it is level. It is important for the mixture to freeze evenly for the Ninja Creami to work.
3. Process with Ninja Creami:
   • After the mixture is frozen solid, remove it from the freezer.
   • Insert the frozen container into the Ninja Creami machine.
   • Select the “Sorbet” function on the Ninja Creami.
   • Let the machine process the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to press “re spin” to get it to the desired consistency.

Ninja Creami FAQs

Here are the top frequently asked questions about the Ninja Creami and their answers:

1. Can I use any type of container to freeze my mixture?

Answer: No, it’s recommended to use the specific containers that come with the Ninja Creami. These containers are designed to fit the machine and ensure proper freezing and processing. Using other containers might not yield the desired results and can potentially damage the machine.

2. How long does the mixture need to freeze before processing?

Answer: The mixture should be frozen for at least 24 hours. This ensures that the mixture is completely solid, which is necessary for the Ninja Creami to process it into a smooth and creamy consistency.

3. Can I add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts to my sorbet?

Answer: Yes, you can add mix-ins. After the initial processing cycle is complete, you can create a hole in the center of the sorbet and add your mix-ins. Then, use the “Mix-In” function on the Ninja Creami to evenly distribute them throughout your sorbet.

4. Is the Ninja Creami difficult to clean?

Answer: No, the Ninja Creami is relatively easy to clean. The containers, lids, and paddle are dishwasher safe, making cleanup quick and convenient. For best results, rinse the components immediately after use to prevent any residue from hardening.

5. Can I make dairy-free or vegan ice cream with the Ninja Creami?

Answer: Yes, the Ninja Creami is perfect for making dairy-free or vegan ice creams and sorbets. You can use non-dairy milk like almond, coconut, or oat milk, and plant-based sweeteners. The machine can handle a variety of ingredients to create delicious frozen treats that cater to different dietary preferences.

6. Can I freeze my Ice Cream mixture for longer than 24hours?

Answer: Yes, you can freeze your Ninja Creami mixture for longer than 24 hours. Freezing it for an extended period won’t harm the mixture or the machine. In fact, many users find it convenient to prepare several batches in advance and keep them in the freezer until they’re ready to process and enjoy.

Ingredients

1 850g tin of Black Doris Plums in juice or syrup: or any kind of tinned red plum in juice or syrup. Since this recipe doesn’t use any fat, the sorbet needs the sugar content from the syrup or juice to help keep it a smooth, non-icy texture.

The great thing about this is that you do not need to make any syrup yourself – it’s already there in the tin! All you need to do is de-pit the plums (if they aren’t pitted already), pop them into your Ninja Creami tub, and top them up with the syrup till the MAX FILL line is reached.

Method

This Plum Sorbet recipe is so simple and gratifying to make, but I am going to break it down into steps for you:

• Pit the Plums: using a tin opener, open the can of plums. Do not strain the syrup! If they are not pitted plums, then you will need to complete this by hand. One by one, poke the pit out of the plum and drop the pitted plum into the Ninja Creami tub.
• Add the Syrup: pour the reserved syrup over the plums until it reaches the MAX FILL line. Note, this recipe may not use all the syrup in the tin. You could reserve the remaining syrup for another Ninja Creami recipe or in case you need to “re-spin” the mixture.
• Freeze: Cover with the lid and pop in the freezer for 24 hours. DO NOT place it on it’s side or an uneven service. The mixture needs to freeze with a level top to ensure the Ninja Creami blitzes it properly. Make sure it remains frozen for at least 24 hours.
• Blitz: After 24 hours, your sorbet is ready to be creamified! Pop it in your Ninja Creami container, press the ‘Sorbet’ function and wait until the cycle stops. If the mixture isn’t at the desired consistency, then pop it back in the machine and press ‘re spin’. It should only need one more spin if it is not already at that luscious sorbet consistency.
• Serve: I like to eat this straight from the tub, mid-life-crisis style, but it can be scooped into cones or bowls.
