Blueberry sorbet for Ninja Creami & Swirl

Blueberry sorbet is one of the simplest and most flavorful to make. Thanks to the short cooking time of the fruit, the result is an intensely colored purée, highly aromatic and naturally rich in juice.

Ninja Creami then transforms this base into a perfectly smooth, fresh and delicately sweet sorbet. An ideal recipe if you want a light, fruity, additive-free dessert that's full of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 500 g of frozen blueberries

  • 80 g of sugar

  • 40 g of’water

Directions

  • Cook the blueberries
    Place the frozen blueberries in a saucepan with 40g sugar. Heat over medium heat for ten minutes. The blueberries will release their juice and soften. Stir regularly to prevent them sticking to the bottom.
  • Blend the mixture
    Once the blueberries are fully cooked and softened, pour them into a blender or use an immersion blender. Blend until smooth and homogenous, with no lumps.
  • Prepare the syrup
    In a small saucepan, bring the 40g water to the boil with the remaining 40g sugar. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved. The result is a clear syrup.
  • Assemble the two preparations
    Pour the hot syrup into the blueberry purée. Blend for a few seconds longer until the mixture is perfectly smooth and well-bound. This allows you to adjust the texture and sweetness of the sorbet.
  • Freezing the mixture
    Transfer the mixture to a jar compatible with your Ninja Creami. Smooth the surface, close the jar tightly and place in the freezer for 24 hours, until completely solid.
  • Rest before turbining
    Take the jar out of the freezer about 15 minutes before placing it in the Creami. This makes turbinating easier and gives a better texture.
  • Turbine the sorbet
    Install the jar in the machine and start the Sorbet complete. At the end of the first cycle, if the texture still seems a little compact, use the Re-spin to further aerate and smooth the sorbet.

Notes

  • To intensify the taste even further, use good wild blueberries: they give a deeper color and a stronger fragrance.
  • If you find the mixture too acidic, you can add a spoonful of honey when blending.
  • And for an even smoother sorbet, don't hesitate to strain the purée before freezing to remove the little blueberry skins.
