Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups fresh cantaloupe chunks (ripe and sweet)

- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add cantaloupe chunks, sugar, and lemon juice to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Freeze Mixture: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it doesn’t exceed the max fill line. Seal tightly and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours.
- Churn in Ninja Creami: Remove the pint from the freezer, take off the lid, and place it into the outer bowl of your Ninja Creami machine. Secure the lid and press the “Sorbet” button. Let the machine churn until smooth.
- Adjust Texture if Needed: If the sorbet is crumbly or dry, add a tablespoon of water and press “Re-spin.” Repeat until creamy and scoopable.
Notes
Serving Suggestions
- Serve in chilled bowls or dessert glasses for an elegant touch. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or pair with cookies for added texture.
Tips & Tricks
- Use ripe cantaloupe for maximum sweetness and flavor. A fragrant melon with a slight give at the stem end is ideal.
- Taste the blended mixture before freezing to adjust sweetness or citrus levels to your liking.
Storage & Reheating
- Store leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- To soften, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
