Honeydew Melon Sorbet (made with Ninja Creami)

Ingredients

• 4 cup ripe honeydew melon (Peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks; approximately 600 g edible flesh)
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar (Adjust slightly according to the sweetness of the melon)
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (Brightens the flavor)
• fine salt (A small pinch, to taste)
• 2 tbsp water (Use only as needed to help blend the mixture)

Steps

1. 1

   Peel and seed the honeydew, then cut the edible flesh into chunks. Measure approximately 4 cups (600 g).

2. 2

   Add the honeydew, sugar, lemon juice, and a small pinch of salt to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, adding the water only if needed to help the mixture circulate.

3. 3

   Taste the purée and adjust the sweetness or lemon juice if necessary. The mixture should taste slightly sweeter and more intensely flavored than you want the finished frozen sorbet to taste.

4. 4

   Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Do not fill above the maximum-fill line. Secure the lid and freeze the container on a level surface for at least 24 hours, or until solid throughout.

5. 5

   Remove the pint from the freezer and let it stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Place it in the outer bowl, fit the paddle, and process using the Sorbet setting according to the manufacturer's instructions.

6. 6

   If the sorbet looks powdery or crumbly after the first cycle, add 1 tablespoon of water and run the Re-Spin program. Repeat once if needed, stopping when the sorbet is smooth and scoopable.

7. 7

   Scoop and serve immediately as a dessert or palate cleanser. The source suggests pairing it with agar water jelly and lemon microbasil.
