2-Ingredient Ninja Creami Watermelon Sorbet Recipe

Stay hydrated and happy all summer with this simple Ninja Creami Watermelon Sorbet recipe. Using only 2-ingredients, this sorbet packs in electrolytes and flavor, plus it's super easy to make in the Ninja Creami.

Summers just keep getting hotter and sometimes water just doesn't cut it, or well, it's just plain boring. This hydrating watermelon sorbet packs in the electrolytes with the flavor and no added sugar- just the natural sweetness from watermelon and coconut water. I'm a huge fan of watermelon, I mean not much beats biting into a juicy watermelon on hot summer days, so I made this all summer long last year. I knew it was time to share this refreshing treat this year!

Now, if you're new around here, I'm a BIG FAN of the Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker. I use mine almost daily and have lots of healthy ninja creami recipes on my site (they are all listed at the end of this post). If you don't have one, I promise it is worth every penny and truly a kitchen appliance the whole family will love. 

Why You'll Love This Recipe

• It's simple! Made with two simple ingredients, this sorbet is nourishing and an easy recipe.
• It's hydrating! Watermelon itself is already very hydrating as it has a high water content, but we add coconut water to the sorbet base to amp up the electrolyte and hydration factor. This is the ultimate refreshing frozen treat on a hot day and an easy way to keep kids hydrated too.
• It's healthy! Besides being hydrating, watermelon is packed with vitamins A and C, as well as other supportive nutrients for overall health. Coconut water is also packed with nutrients and potentially antioxidants. This delicious watermelon sorbet is also low calorie so it's the perfect treat if you are looking for a macro friendly dessert when your sweet tooth hits.
• It's allergy friendly! Given that it's only two basic ingredients, this sorbet is vegan, gluten free, paleo and AIP friendly!

Homemade Watermelon Sorbet Ingredients 

• Watermelon: you'll need one ripe watermelon for this recipe, preferably seedless (otherwise you will have to pick the seeds out!). Using a juicy, ripe watermelon is ideal so you can get all that sweet watermelon flavor in the final sorbet.
• Coconut water: one small container of your favorite coconut water will do the trick.

How to Make Ninja Creami Watermelon Sorbet

1. Cut off the rind of your watermelon and chop into cubes.
2. Fill a ninja creami pint container with diced watermelon to the max fill line.
3. Pour coconut water into the cup up to the max fill line. Place storage lid on top.
4. Place pint in the freezer on a level surface overnight, for 12-24 hours.
5. When ready to spin, microwave for 30 seconds or run the outside of the pint container under hot water for a couple of minutes. Add the pint to the Ninja Creami machine and spin on the sorbet setting. I have also used the lite ice cream setting with no issues.
6. If the sorbet is a little dry or chunky on the first spin, re-spin as needed for a smooth, creamy texture.

Substitutions and Variations

• Coconut water: if you don't have or can't access coconut water, you can use plain water. If you do this, I advise adding a little bit of sweetener like a splash of maple syrup or agave syrup.
• Switch it up! Add other berries like raspberries or strawberries for different variations of mixed fruit sorbet. Add some fresh lime juice to the base for added flavor if desired.

Storage Tips

If you don't finish the pint, smooth over the top of your leftover watermelon sorbet and re-freeze any leftovers. You can re-spin the sorbet when ready to eat the rest, following the same directions as above.
