Here’s the easy recipe for making Ninja Creami Violet Lemonade Sorbet:
1. Ninja Creami Violet Lemonade Sorbet
Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 6-8 lemons)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp dried culinary-grade violet flowers
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the lemon juice, water, and sugar. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has fully dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the violet flowers. Let steep for 30 minutes.
Strain the violet-infused simple syrup through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the flowers.
Pour the violet lemonade syrup into the Ninja Creami bowl and stir in the lemon zest.
Install the paddle attachment and select the “Sorbet” setting. Run the machine for about 20-25 minutes, or until the sorbet reaches your desired consistency.
Stop the machine and remove the bowl. Use a spatula to transfer the sorbet to an airtight container.
Freeze for at least 2 hours before serving. Scoop and enjoy!
