Before You Begin

What Creami model do you have?

Directions

Makes: 16oz · Servings: 4

Blend cucumber, water, sugar, mint leaves, and lime juice until smooth.

Pro Tip

Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until completely smooth. Any chunks will become icy spots.

Strain through a fine sieve.

Pour into Ninja Creami pint container.

Pro Tip

Fill to the max fill line but not above — overfilling can cause the lid to pop off during processing.

Freeze for 24 hours.

Pro Tip

Place on a flat, level surface in the coldest part of your freezer. Uneven freezing leads to inconsistent texture.

Process using the Sorbet function.

Pro Tip

If the machine struggles or the pint spins freely, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before retrying.

Common Questions

How long does Cucumber Mint Sorbet last in the freezer?

Once processed in the Ninja Creami, Cucumber Mint Sorbet is best enjoyed immediately for the creamiest texture. You can refreeze it for up to 2 weeks — just let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before re-processing with the Re-Spin function.

Which Ninja Creami models can make Cucumber Mint Sorbet?

This recipe works with all Ninja CREAMi models — the 7-in-1 (NC301), Deluxe, XL Deluxe 11-in-1 (NC501), and Scoop & Swirl (NC701). It also works with discontinued models like the Breeze (NC100) and original 5-in-1 (NC300). The ingredients are sized for a standard 16oz pint. If you have a 24oz Deluxe or XL Deluxe model, use our built-in ingredient scaler to adjust the quantities up.

Is Cucumber Mint Sorbet suitable for special diets?

Yes, this recipe is: Vegan, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free. Always check individual ingredient labels to confirm they meet your specific dietary requirements.

What if my sorbet comes out crumbly?

This is normal after the first spin. Select the Re-Spin function for a smoother, creamier result. If it's still crumbly after two re-spins, let the pint sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes, then try again.

Can I substitute a different sweetener for granulated sugar?

Sugar does more than sweeten — it lowers the freezing point and prevents icy texture. You can substitute with: allulose (best for keto — doesn't crystallize when frozen), coconut sugar (1:1 swap but darker color), or monk fruit blend (1:1 swap). Avoid liquid sweeteners like honey or maple syrup as a full replacement — they change the liquid ratio.
