Mango Sorbet Ninja Creami

This homemade mango sorbet is my summer secret for turning ripe mangoes into the creamiest dairy-free treat. With just two natural ingredients you can whip up a vibrant sunny dessert that is pure fruit flavor and so easy to make in your Ninja Creami. It is perfect for anyone avoiding dairy or processed sugar and feels like a mini tropical vacation in a bowl.

I had no idea something so simple could taste this incredible. My first batch disappeared in minutes and now every time I spot ripe mangoes my family begs for another pint.

Ingredients

• Ripe mangoes: Use fruits that give slightly when pressed and have a honey aroma for natural sweetness
• Full fat coconut milk: This makes the sorbet extra creamy and enhances the tropical flavor find a brand without additives or gums for the smoothest texture

Step by Step Instructions

Prepare the Mangoes:

Cut both ends off each mango slice along the pit then score the halves into cubes and scoop out the flesh. Ripe mangoes make this so much easier and the flavor better.

Combine Ingredients:

Add the mango cubes and a half cup of coconut milk into the Ninja Creami pint. Make sure the pieces are spread out evenly for smooth blending.

Freeze:

Seal the pint and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze for at least twelve hours or overnight this allows the mix to become fully solid so it churns into a scoopable sorbet.

Blend the First Time:

Once frozen place the pint in your Ninja Creami. Use the Sorbet function and allow the machine to churn until smooth and creamy. If some fruit sticks to the side scrape it down.

Add More Coconut Milk and Blend Again:

Pour another tablespoon of coconut milk on top and run the Ninja Creami again. This softens it into a rich silky sorbet.

Serve:

Scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Any leftovers can go back into the freezer just pop back into the Ninja Creami for a quick reblend before enjoying.

Honestly I love how just mango and coconut milk deliver such a punch of flavor. The first time we made this my kids thought I had finally nailed store-quality mango sorbet at home and we all sat on the porch with sticky spoons and big smiles.

Storage Tips

Keep any leftover sorbet right in the Ninja Creami pint sealed with the lid. It will harden in the freezer so always let it sit out five minutes before reblending in the Ninja Creami for easy scooping. Up to two weeks is best for flavor and texture.

Ingredient Substitutions

If mangoes are out of season try using frozen mango chunks just thaw slightly before blending with coconut milk. For extra sweetness when your mangoes are bland stir in a little agave or honey. Almond milk can substitute for coconut milk but will yield a lighter texture.

Serving Suggestions

Spoon the mango sorbet into bowls or crunchy waffle cones. It shines as a base for smoothie bowls with toppings like fresh berries coconut flakes or granola. Sometimes I layer it over cubes of fresh fruit for a parfait.
