Ninja Creami Peach Sorbet
Ingredients
4 large ripe peaches 🍑
1/2 cup granulated sugar 🍚
1/2 cup water 💧
1 tablespoon lemon juice 🍋
A pinch of salt 🧂
Directions
- Prepare the peaches: Wash the peaches thoroughly. Peel and pit them, then cut them into chunks.
- Make the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Blend the peaches: In a blender or food processor, combine the peach chunks, lemon juice, and the cooled sugar syrup. Blend until smooth.
- Prepare the Ninja Creami container: Pour the peach mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, making sure not to exceed the max fill line. Secure the lid tightly.
- Freeze: Place the pint container in the freezer and freeze for at least 24 hours. This ensures the sorbet base is solid enough for the Creami to churn.
- Process the base: After 24 hours, remove the pint from the freezer. Insert it into the Ninja Creami, select the “Sorbet” setting, and start the machine.
- Enjoy: Scoop the freshly made peach sorbet into bowls or cones. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Tips for the Perfect Peach Sorbet
- Use ripe peaches: The riper the peaches, the sweeter and more flavorful your sorbet will be. Look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and fragrant.
- Chill your syrup: Make sure the sugar syrup is completely cooled before blending with the peaches. This helps maintain the sorbet’s texture.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the peach mixture before freezing. If it’s not sweet enough, add a bit more sugar to your liking.
Variations to Try
- Peach-Mango Sorbet: Substitute half of the peaches with ripe mangoes for a tropical twist.
- Peach-Basil Sorbet: Add a few fresh basil leaves to the blender for a unique, herby flavor.
- Peach-Ginger Sorbet: Add a teaspoon of freshly grated ginger for a spicy kick.
Storing Your Sorbet
Store any leftovers in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid tightly secured. Keep it in the freezer and enjoy within a week for the best taste and texture. If the sorbet hardens too much, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
