Introduction

This Raspberry Sherbet made with the Ninja Creami is a refreshing, creamy treat perfect for warm days or anytime you crave a fruity dessert. It’s naturally sweetened and blends fresh raspberries with yogurt for a smooth, tangy flavor.

This image shows a clear glass jar filled with smooth, creamy pink raspberry mousse. The mousse is swirled on top with a soft texture visible from the gentle folds. Three fresh red raspberries are placed in the center on top of the mousse, adding a bright contrast. The jar is set on a white marbled surface with a soft peach cloth blurred in the background. A small white dish with more raspberries is partly visible on the side, and a few loose raspberries lie near the jar. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
3/4 cup whole milk

1/2 cup plain, full-fat Greek yogurt
2-3 tablespoons honey, sugar, or sweetener of choice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Garnish ideas: more fresh raspberries, mini chocolate chips, fresh mint

Instructions

Step 1: Add the fresh raspberries, whole milk, Greek yogurt, honey (or your chosen sweetener), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a blender.
Step 2: Blend the mixture for 20-30 seconds until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or measuring cup, pressing to remove raspberry seeds. Discard the seeds.
Step 4: Pour the smooth mixture into an empty Ninja Creami pint container. Freeze the pint on a level surface in the freezer without the lid for 24 hours. This prevents ice buildup that can damage the machine’s blade.
Step 5: After freezing, place the pint into the Ninja Creami outer bowl, secure the lid, and lock it in place on the motor base. Select the “frozen yogurt” program to process the sherbet. If the texture is not perfect, use the “respin” function once.

Step 6: Remove the pint and serve immediately. Garnish with extra fresh raspberries, mini chocolate chips, or a sprig of mint if desired.

Tips & Variations

For a dairy-free option, substitute whole milk and Greek yogurt with coconut milk and coconut yogurt.
If you prefer a sweeter sherbet, adjust the amount of honey or sweetener to taste before freezing.

Adding a splash of lemon juice enhances the brightness of the raspberry flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover sherbet in the Ninja Creami pint with the lid on in the freezer for up to 1 week. When ready to enjoy, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes, then reprocess using the “re-spin” function on your Ninja Creami to restore the creamy texture.

FAQs

Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen raspberries work well. Use them thawed and drain any excess liquid before blending to maintain the right consistency.

What if I don’t have a Ninja Creami?

This recipe is designed for the Ninja Creami, which creates a smooth texture. Without it, you can try blending the mixture and freezing it in a shallow container, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals, though the texture will be less creamy.
