Ninja Raspberry Lime Sorbet

Ninja Raspberry Lime Sorbet

24 hour prep time

Yields: 1 Deluxe Pint (3 cups)
dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free

Ingredients:

• 15 oz can crushed Pears in 100% Juice
• 10 oz frozen organic Raspberries
• 1 tbsp Lime Juice
• 4 Dates
• Plant Milk (if needed)

Directions:

1. Blend Pears, Raspberries & Dates using a high speed blender until smooth about 30 seconds
2. Pour mixture into Ninja Creami Deluxe Container, if space left before Scoopable Max Fill line, add some Plant Milk, stir
3. Place in freezer for 24 hours without the lid*
4. When ready to enjoy, process using a Ninja Creami Deluxe Sorbet setting, Re-Spin w/milk as a Pear base tends to be icy

Hoff Thoughts: *Freezing without the lid or any covering helps to prevent the “volcano” mound from forming. Should a mound form simply scrape with the back of a spoon & smooth over shavings until a level base is formed, this prevents the blade from cutting into the container. The Pears act as a sweetener in this recipe.
