Here’s a revised version that incorporates the additional ice cream flavors you mentioned:
With raspberry season in full swing and my son’s love for fruit sorbet, I decided to switch things up from our usual creamy treats like jackfruit ice cream, coconut vanilla ice cream, or nostalgic Dole Whip.
While I initially thought of making a raspberry sorbet, my lovely neighbor gifted me a huge bowl of freshly picked limes, which turned out to be the perfect addition!
This Ninja Creami Raspberry Lime Sorbet combines the sweet-tart flavor of raspberries with the zesty kick of lime, creating a refreshing and vibrant treat. It’s a delightful change from our fruity go-tos like watermelon ice cream, lychee ice cream, or even luscious peach ice cream, offering a burst of fruity flavor that’s ideal for cooling off on a warm day or serving as a lively dessert option.
