FAQs
Can I use regular ice cream machines instead of the Ninja Creami?
This recipe is designed specifically for the Ninja Creami, which spins and aerates frozen fruit for a smooth sorbet. Using a traditional ice cream maker may not achieve the same texture, but blending frozen watermelon and coconut water can produce a similar frozen treat.
Can I substitute coconut water with something else?
Yes, you can substitute coconut water with plain water or a fruit juice like pineapple or orange juice for a different flavor, though coconut water adds a nice subtle sweetness and electrolytes.
