Tips & Variations

- If you don’t have coconut water, plain water or an electrolyte drink can be used as a substitute.
- To make a larger batch, simply double the ingredients and freeze in multiple pints.
Storage

FAQs
Can I use frozen watermelon cubes instead of fresh?
It’s best to use fresh watermelon for uniform freezing and texture, but if you use frozen cubes, ensure they are well-drained to avoid excess ice crystals in the sorbet.
What if I don’t have a Ninja Creami machine?
While this recipe is designed for the Ninja Creami, you can make a simple watermelon sorbet by blending watermelon and coconut water, then freezing the mixture and stirring every 30 minutes until solid for a similar effect.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup+ cubed watermelon
- 1 cup+ coconut water
Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon: Cut off the rind of the watermelon and chop the flesh into small cubes for easier blending and processing.

- Preheat Pint: To prepare for processing, microwave the pint container for 30 seconds or run the outside under hot water for a few minutes to soften slightly, facilitating smoother spinning.
- Spin in Ninja Creami: Insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and select the sorbet setting to process. Alternatively, the lite ice cream setting can be used with equally good results.

Notes
