Ninja Creami Fruit Paradise Sorbet

You can use fresh or frozen fruit for Ninja Creami recipes. However, based on the recipe, you might need to make some adjustments. As canned fruit has either juice or syrup mixed with the fruit, you may need to add some liquid or sugar to the recipe. If using frozen fruit, you must either thaw the fruit before adding to the pint or add liquid to fill the gaps between the frozen fruit. Using only frozen fruit with no liquid could damage the machine. For this recipe, canned or fresh fruit is preferred as the fruit gets mashed together during the preparation.

Yes. You can make a smaller portion and only fill one pint container. Simply cut the ingredients into thirds and prepare one pint at a time. You will have a lot of extra fruit if you are using canned fruit.

This is up to you. Fruit in syrup is sweeter and tends to have a creamier consistency once processed than fruit in juice. Use what you prefer to eat. If you like the fruit in the syrup, use that. If the fruit in the syrup is too sweet for you, then you can use fruit in juice. Keep in mind that fruit in juice does not turn out as creamy. But, for this recipe, the bananas ad a lot of extra creaminess.

Usually, if your ice cream comes out dry or crumbly it’s due to one of the following reasons:
*Your freezer is too cold. Try to adjust your freezer to be a little warmer or let your ice cream sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes before processing it.
*Your recipe does not have enough fat in it. Try adding in a little bit of a higher fat dairy product to your recipe next time.
*Your recipe may not have enough sugar in it. The less sugar in the recipe, the icier and crumblier the ice cream will be. Regular sugar, honey, or corn syrup can be used to increase the sugar content if desired.
To help resolve this issue, after processing, add 1 tablespoon of dairy and then reprocess.

It depends. If you are keeping the ice cream in the Ninja pint container with the lid sealed tightly and are freezing it in a cold freezer (between 9 degrees F and -7 degrees F), your ice cream will keep for several weeks, even months. However, if you transfer your ice cream to another container or freeze it in a freezer that is not quite as cold (or that is accessed a lot/door opened and closed often), the lifetime of your ice cream will decrease greatly to just a few days and you will likely end up with freezer-burned ice cream.
