Ninja Creami Dragon Fruit Sorbet [Low Calorie]

Recipe by Leah Robinson

Ingredients

🍉 2 cups dragon fruit (fresh or frozen, cubed)
🍯 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
🍋 Juice of 1 lime
🧊 1/2 cup water
🧂 Pinch of salt

Directions

In a blender, combine the dragon fruit cubes, honey (or agave syrup), lime juice, water, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Secure the lid and place it in the freezer for at least 24 hours to ensure it is thoroughly frozen.
Once the mixture is frozen solid, remove the pint from the freezer. Remove the lid and insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine.
Select the “Sorbet” function on the Ninja Creami. This setting is perfect for creating a smooth, icy texture.
After processing, check the consistency. If the sorbet is too crumbly, add a splash of water and reprocess using the “Re-spin” function until it reaches your desired creaminess.
Scoop the Dragon Fruit Sorbet into bowls or cones. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of chia seeds for an extra touch.
