Ninja Creami Lemon Basil Sorbet
Ninja Creami lemon basil sorbet is the perfect tart and herby summer treat. It's absolutely refreshing and delicious.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 lemons (or 3 large - enough to squeeze 1 cup lemon juice)
- 1 cup hot/warm water
- ½ cup sugar
- .3 ounces basil (about 8 grams)
Instructions
- Squeeze enough lemon juice to equal one cup. Add to the blender.
- In a cup or bowl, add the sugar and hot water. Stir until sugar is combined and dissolved in the water. Add to the blender.
- Add basil leaves (and stems) to the blender. Blend everything together and then pour into the Ninja Creami container.
- Freeze for at least 24 hours on a level surface.
- Remove from the freezer and run hot/warm water on the outside for a couple of minutes to thaw the outside layer.
- Process on the SORBET setting. (Respin if needed). Scoop out and enjoy.
Notes
- Don't skip the step about running hot/warm water along the outside of your Creami pint before processing. it will help unfreeze the outer layer and get it to mix properly. Alternately, you can remove from your freezer and leave out for 15 minutes before processing.
- If you have leftovers (I always do, because it's so tart and refreshing, I only usually eat a scoop at a time), simply smooth out the top then return to the freezer. You may need to reprocess before enjoying again.
