When it comes to refreshing treats, nothing beats fresh fruit and a glass of ice cold lemonade.

But what if you could combine the two into a frozen dessert that feels super indulgent, but that you could enjoy guilt-free?

That’s the inspiration behind this Ninja Creami blueberry lemonade sorbet!

It’s an easy recipe that comes together quickly, and transforms into a frozen treat that’s the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

It’s a healthy Ninja Creami recipe that’s a great way to get more fruit into your day, too!

Ninja Creami Blueberry Lemon Sorbet

To keep this recipe simple, I used pink lemonade instead of fresh lemon juice.

I do recommend using a good-quality lemonade, though, preferably from the refrigerator section of the grocery store (unless you want to spring for homemade lemonade!).

Skip the lemonade powders and concentrate, as my recipe tests with these so far have not produced a great flavor.

I used fresh blueberries, because that’s what I had on hand, but you could also use frozen blueberries if you prefer.

Now, since there is dairy in this recipe, it’s not *technically* a sorbet. However, the texture of the resulting frozen treat is definitely more in line with sorbet than ice cream, so that’s what I’m calling it. 🙂

But it does have a bit of creaminess that most sorbets don’t have, which I really like about this recipe.

It can be served on its own, or you can use it as the base for a smoothie bowl.

How to Make Blueberry Lemonade Sorbet in the Ninja Creami

It’s super easy to make this delicious recipe with just a few simple ingredients and your Ninja Creami ice cream machine.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

Cream cheese
Milk
Lemonade
Blueberries

How to Make it:

(Printable recipe card is located below)

Combine dairy. To start, you’ll mix together the softened cream cheese and the milk. You can do this with a food processor, blender, or by hand. The goal is to ensure there aren’t any large chunks of cream cheese, though small pieces are fine.

Make sorbet base. Add in the lemonade and the blueberries, then pour base into a Ninja Creami pint container (make sure it doesn’t go past the max fill line!) and close the lid.

Freeze. Place the pint container on a level surface in your freezer. Freeze for 24 hours.

Spin. After 24 hours, remove the pint from the freezer and take off the lid. Place the pint into the outer bowl and secure the outer bowl lid into place.

Next, place bowl assembly into the Ninja Creami machine and press the Sorbet function. The motor base will start running and it will take about 2 minutes for the cycle to complete.

Re-Spin if needed. If the texture of the sorbet is somewhat crumbly after the first spin, you can add a tablespoon of milk and put it through the Re-Spin cycle in the machine until the desired texture is achieved for your creamy blueberry lemon sorbet.

Notes and Adaptations:

If your lemonade isn’t very sweet and you prefer a sweeter sorbet, you can add a little bit of sugar, monk fruit sweetener, or maple syrup to the mixture to sweeten to taste.
Feel free to add some lemon zest if you want a more pronounced lemon flavor.
I used whole milk, but regular milk should work fine as well.

I used fresh blueberries, but you can use frozen as well.
