Ingredients
These quantities yield one small container provided with the ice cream maker.
- 14 oz watermelon (cleaned)
- 3 tbsps sugar
- 1 lime (juice)
Tools
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Knife
- 1 Immersion Blender Kenwood
- 1 Ice Cream Maker Ninja Creami
Steps
Clean the watermelon, remove the rind and seeds, and cut it into small pieces. Place it in the immersion blender jug, add the sugar, lime juice, and blend.
Transfer the mixture into the small container provided with the ice cream maker, close it with its lid, and store it in the freezer for 24 hours. When placing the container inside the freezer, make sure it is on a flat surface and that the liquid inside is leveled.
After the resting time, take out the container from the freezer, remove the lid, and check that the mixture has not frozen unevenly. Place the tub with the sorbet in the outer bowl of the machine. Attach the paddles (or blades) to the top of the outer lid, securing them well. Place the lid on the bowl containing the ice cream and turn it clockwise to lock it. Position the bowl on the motor base and lock it in place. When it is correctly positioned, you will hear a click.
Select the SORBET program to start processing. At the end of processing, all four progress bar dashes will flash and then turn off. Remove the bowl from the appliance and take out the tub with the softened sorbet ready to serve.
If any sorbet is left over, it can be stored in the freezer, and for the next use, if it is too hard (although it has never happened to me), just put it back in the machine and press the re-spin button.
