3. Process in the Ninja Creami: Remove the frozen cantaloupe mixture from the freezer and place it into the Ninja Creami bowl.
4. Churn on the “Sorbet” Setting: Select the “Sorbet” setting on the Ninja Creami and churn the mixture for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
5. Enjoy Immediately: Serve the cantaloupe sorbet immediately or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Variations

• Add Ginger: For a spicy twist, grate 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger into the cantaloupe mixture before freezing.
• Use Honey Instead of Sugar: Replace the granulated sugar with 1/4 cup of honey for a more natural sweetness.
• Top with Toasted Coconut: Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top of the sorbet for a tropical touch.
