Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

frozen raspberries
water
light agave syrup or preferred sweetener

Directions

In a medium saucepan over low to medium heat, combine the frozen raspberries and water. Stir occasionally as the raspberries begin to soften and release their juices. Gently mash them to help break them down.
Once the raspberries are fully softened and the mixture is slightly thickened, remove from heat.
Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to remove the seeds and extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the seeds.
Stir the agave syrup or your chosen sweetener into the strained raspberry mixture. Mix until fully combined.
Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, making sure not to exceed the maximum fill line.
Place the container in the freezer without the lid and freeze for 16 to 24 hours, or until completely solid.
Once frozen solid, insert the pint into the Ninja Creami and process using the Sorbet setting.
If the texture appears crumbly or powdery after the first spin, simply run the Sorbet cycle again until smooth and creamy.
Scoop and serve immediately.

Servings and timing

Servings: Makes 1 Ninja Creami pint (approximately 2–3 servings)
Prep time: About 15–20 minutes
Freeze time: 16–24 hours
Total time: Approximately 24 hours including freezing

Variations

Citrus twist: Add a tablespoon of fresh lemon or lime juice to brighten the flavor.

Mixed berry blend: Substitute part of the raspberries with strawberries or blueberries for a layered berry flavor.

Sugar-free option: Use a low-calorie sweetener suitable for freezing in place of agave syrup.

Extra smooth texture: Add a tablespoon of corn syrup or a small amount of vodka to reduce iciness and improve scoopability.

Herbal note: Infuse the mixture with fresh mint while heating, then strain before freezing.

Storage/Reheating

Store any leftovers in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid tightly secured. Keep frozen for up to two weeks for best flavor and texture.

If the sorbet becomes very firm after extended freezing, allow it to sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving. You can also re-spin it in the Ninja Creami to restore its creamy consistency.

FAQs

Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh raspberries work well. You may want to freeze the mixture fully before spinning to ensure proper texture.

Do I have to strain out the seeds?

Straining is recommended for a smoother sorbet, but you can skip this step if you don’t mind a bit of texture.

Why is my sorbet powdery after spinning?

This can happen if the mixture is very cold or slightly low in sugar. Simply run the Sorbet cycle again to achieve a smoother texture.

Can I reduce the sweetness?

Yes, adjust the sweetener to taste. Keep in mind that freezing slightly dulls sweetness, so the mixture should taste a bit sweeter before freezing.

How long does it need to freeze?

Freeze the mixture for at least 16 hours, or until completely solid throughout.

Can I make this without a Ninja Creami?

This recipe is designed specifically for the Ninja Creami. Other ice cream makers may require slight adjustments to the method.

Is this recipe dairy-free?

Yes, this sorbet contains no dairy ingredients.

Can I add other fruits?

Absolutely. Strawberries, blackberries, or mango can be blended in for different flavor combinations.

What if my sorbet is too hard to scoop?

Let it rest at room temperature for a few minutes or re-spin it in the machine.

Can I double the recipe?

You can prepare multiple pints, but each must be frozen and processed in its own container.
