Ninja Creami lemon sorbet is the perfect combination of tart and sweet. It's the perfect texture, and so refreshing on a hot day.

Is there anything more refreshing than a delicious lemon sorbet? There's just something so cooling and delicious about the icy treat. I've enjoyed it on many a hot Texas day, and now that I'm in Lisbon and rarely run the air conditioner, this is a nice cooling treat on those 90-degree days.
And luckily, the Ninja Creami makes an easy lemon sorbet. The texture winds up being that perfect amount of icy smooth texture. Almost like the best tart lemon snow cone you've ever had.
Key tips before making this recipe
- This is the perfect combination of lemon to sugar to help balance the tartness of the lemon without being too sweet. The number of lemons you use may depend on the size of your lemons and effectiveness of what tool you use to juice them.
- Run warm/hot water along the outside edge of the Creami container before processing. This will help the outer edge thaw and get incorporated into the sorbet. Otherwise, it will stay frozen.
- Mine was perfect after just processing once, but if yours is crumbly, use the respin feature to get to the texture you want.
- If you have leftovers, smooth out the top and then return to the freezer. You will likely need to reprocess before enjoying again.
