The Ninja Creami Lime Sherbet Recipe is fresh, creamy and full of citrus flavor. It is the perfect treat for hot days.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare the Lime Juice
- Squeeze fresh limes to get juice. Strain seeds if needed. Fresh juice gives the best taste and strong citrus flavor.
Mix Sugar and Liquid
- In a bowl, add lime juice and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves fully. This step creates a smooth base for sherbet.
Add Dairy Ingredients
- Pour in milk and cream. Mix well using a whisk. This makes the sherbet creamy and soft.
Add Flavor Boost
- Add lime zest, vanilla extract and salt. Stir gently. These small ingredients add depth and balance to the flavor.
Pour into Container
- Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Spread evenly so it freezes smoothly.
Freeze the Mixture
- Place the container in the freezer for at least 8 hours. It should be fully frozen before using the machine.
Process in Ninja Creami
- Remove the frozen base and place it in the Ninja Creami. Select the “sherbet” setting and let it spin.
Check Texture
- After the first spin, check the texture. If it looks crumbly, use the re-spin function for a smoother result.
Adjust Consistency
- If needed, add a small splash of milk. Run the machine again. This makes it creamy and scoopable.
Serve Fresh
- Scoop into bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Ninja Creami Lime Sherbet Recipe.
Notes
- Use lemon instead of lime for a different taste
