Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups dark cherries fresh or frozen, unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup water adjust for desired texture
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed is best
For Sweetness (Optional)
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey/no-sugar sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract high-quality is best

Equipment

  • Ninja Creami

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash 2 cups of dark cherries thoroughly. If fresh, pit them carefully. If frozen, let them thaw slightly for about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Combine the cherries, 1/2 cup water, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 30-40 seconds until smooth.
  3. Taste the mixture and add 1-2 tablespoons of sweetener if desired. Blend for another 10-15 seconds.
  4. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container and freeze for at least 24 hours.
  5. Remove from freezer, insert into Ninja Creami, and select the 'Sorbet' function. Process for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  6. If too crumbly, use the 'Mix-In' function for 30 seconds or process again on 'Sorbet' for another minute.
  7. Serve immediately into bowls or cones and enjoy the vibrant flavors!
