Ninja Creami Keto Lemon Sorbet
Ingredients
1 cup water 💧
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons) 🍋
1/2 cup powdered erythritol 🍬
1 tsp lemon zest 🍋
A pinch of salt 🧂
1/4 tsp xanthan gum (optional, for a smoother texture) 🌾
Directions
- Combine water and sweetener: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the water and powdered erythritol until the sweetener is fully dissolved, creating a smooth and sweet liquid base.
- Add lemon: Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest, mixing well to combine.
- Enhance texture: If using xanthan gum, sprinkle it into the mixture and whisk thoroughly to prevent clumping. This step is optional but will help achieve a smoother texture.
- Prepare to chill: Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Be sure not to fill past the max fill line. Seal the container with its lid.
- Freeze: Place the container in the freezer for at least 24 hours to allow the mixture to solidify completely.
- Process: Once frozen, remove the pint from the freezer and take off the lid. Insert the container into the Ninja Creami machine and process according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically using the “Sorbet” setting.
- Serve: Scoop the refreshing keto lemon sorbet into bowls or cones. Enjoy immediately!
