Homemade sorbets are the fresh and light dessert par excellence. With the Ninja Creami , you can easily prepare refreshing sorbets based on natural fruit, while keeping a smooth and creamy texture. But to get a really delicious sorbet, it is important to choose the right fruits . Some fruits lend themselves better to the preparation of sorbets than others, thanks to their richness in water, their natural softness or their ability to turn into smooth puree.
Here is a selection of the best fruits to make incredibly tasty homemade sorbets with your Ninja Creami!
1. The mango: the queen of tropical sorbets
Mango is one of the most popular fruits to make sorbets, and it's easy to understand why . With its naturally soft and juicy flesh, it turns into an ultra-seed sorbet without even having to add sugar. If you want a tropical sorbet that explodes in the mouth, mango is your best ally.
Mango sorbet recipe:
- 2 ripe mangoes
- The juice of half a green lemon (to bring a little acidity)
- 50 ml of water
- A small touch of water if necessary to adjust the consistency
- 2 spoons of agave syrup
Mixed the ingredients, freezes in the ninja creami , and you get a soft, creamy and fresh mango sorbet. The mango brings this tender texture that we love, and the lime raises tropical flavors.
Personal tip: add a pinch of Espelette pepper for a subtly spicy touch that will put your taste buds in boiling!
2. Strawberry: the timeless classic
Impossible to talk about homemade sorbets without mentioning the strawberry . It is a classic that appeals to everyone, and in addition, it is naturally sweet and rich in flavors. The strawberries lend itself perfectly to sorbets, with their flesh which turns into a smooth and refreshing puree.
Simple recipe for strawberry sorbet:
- 340 g well ripe strawberries
- 50 ml of water
- 2 tablespoons of agave syrup (optional if your strawberries are already sweet)
- Juice of half a lemon
Strawberries are easily mixed and create a light and tasty sorbet. For an even cooler result, you can add a few mint leaves or a net of balsamic vinegar for an original twist.
My tip: if you want a very red and intense sorbet, do not hesitate to add some raspberries or currants to the mixture. This will bring an tangy side and a brilliant color.
3. Pineapple: for an exotic and refreshing sorbet
Another tropical fruit is wonders in the sorbet version . It is naturally rich in water, which makes it an ideal fruit to obtain a light and refreshing texture. In addition, its sweet and tangy taste gives a perfectly balanced sorbet.
Pineapple sorbet recipe:
- 1 ripe pineapple

The pineapple is juicy enough so that there is no need to add a lot of liquid. Mixes everything, freezes and lets the ninja creami do the rest. This sorbet is ideal for hot summer days or to accompany a richer dessert.
Gourmet tip: for an alcohol -free piña colada effect, add a little coconut milk to your mixture. You will get an ultra-cummerous sorbet with an even more tropical flavor!
4. Raspberry: an intense and tangy fruit
If you like acid sorbets , raspberry is the perfect fruit. Its intense and slightly spicy taste lends itself well to sorbets, especially if you want a less sweet alternative than other fruits. The raspberry brings a beautiful bright red color and an explosion of flavors.
Raspberry sorbet recipe:
- 350 g of raspberries
- 50 ml of water
- 1 tablespoon of honey or agave syrup
- 50 ml of water to adjust the consistency
The raspberries alone can be a little acidic, so if you prefer a softer version, do not hesitate to add a little natural sugar or mix with another fruit such as mango or banana to balance everything.
My tip: pass your mixture through a sieve to remove the small raspberry seeds, and get a very smooth sorbet.
5. Fishing: softness and smoothness
Fishing is another fruit that gives incredibly soft and tasty sorbets . Its naturally juicy texture and its sweet taste make it an excellent base for a creamy sorbet, which you can easily personalize with other fruits or spices.
