A vibrant, refreshing sorbet made with just two simple ingredients! This easy-to-make dessert is perfect for hot days or when you’re craving a nostalgic citrusy treat.
Heat the Juice: Microwave 1 cup of apple juice (or water) in a microwave-safe bowl for about 90 seconds, until very hot but not boiling.
Dissolve Gelatin: Add the orange gelatin mix to the hot liquid and whisk until fully dissolved, ensuring no granules remain.
Combine Liquids: Stir in the remaining ¾ cup of apple juice (or water) and whisk until well mixed.
Freeze the Mixture: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, seal with a lid, and place on a flat surface in your freezer. Freeze for at least 24 hours.
Process in Ninja Creami: Remove the frozen pint from the freezer, take off the lid, and place it in the Ninja Creami machine. Select the “Sorbet” setting and let it process.
Adjust Texture if Needed: If the sorbet is crumbly, use the “Re-spin” function or add 1 tablespoon of juice/water and re-spin until smooth.
Serve and Enjoy: Scoop into bowls or glasses and serve immediately for a creamy, citrusy treat!

Tips & Tricks
Heating the juice ensures a smoother texture by fully dissolving the gelatin mix. Skipping this step may result in slight grittiness.
Use apple juice for enhanced sweetness, but water works fine if you prefer a lighter flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers directly in the Ninja Creami pint container with its lid tightly sealed for up to one week in the freezer.
To enjoy later, let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before re-spinning in the Ninja Creami on “Sorbet” mode to restore its creamy texture.
