Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen raspberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves chopped
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water, heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves, then remove from heat and let it cool.
- Blend frozen raspberries, simple syrup, chopped mint, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- Pour the raspberry mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- If using a Ninja Creami, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for making sorbet, or pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze for 1-2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches a sorbet texture.
- Scoop the sorbet into bowls or cups, garnish with fresh mint leaves, and serve immediately or keep frozen until ready to enjoy.
Notes
For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before chilling to remove raspberry seeds. Adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or honey, depending on your taste preference. Pair with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of dark chocolate for extra indulgence.
