Notes

Here are some important notes for the Ninja Creami Lemon Blueberry Sorbet recipe:
  1. Sweetener Adjustment: Feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste preference, especially if using sweeter fruits or if you want a less sugary sorbet.
  2. Lemon Juice Freshness: Fresh lemon juice is recommended for the best flavor; bottled lemon juice may alter the taste.
  3. Freezing Time: Ensure the mixture is fully frozen for at least 4 hours to achieve the right texture. For optimal results, freezing overnight is ideal.
  4. Blender Consistency: If the mixture is too thick while blending, add water gradually until it reaches a smooth consistency.
  5. Storage: If you have leftovers, store the sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer. To maintain the best texture, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
  6. Flavor Variations: Experiment with different fruits or combinations (like raspberries or strawberries) for unique flavors. Just keep the lemon juice as a base for acidity.
  7. Ninja Creami Usage: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your Ninja Creami to ensure proper operation and safety.
