Prepare the base
Add the frozen green peas and water to a small saucepan. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until the peas are tender and still bright green.
Remove from the heat, stir in the granulated sugar until fully dissolved, then leave the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Add the cooled pea mixture, mint leaves, lemon juice and salt to a blender. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes, until completely smooth.
Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing firmly to recover as much smooth purée as possible, then discard the pea skins.
Freeze and spin
Pour the mixture into a Ninja CREAMi pint, without exceeding the MAX FILL line.
Close with the storage lid and freeze flat for 24 hours.
Once fully frozen, run the SORBET program.
If the texture is powdery or crumbly after the first cycle, run RE-SPIN.

Serve
Serve a small scoop with lamb, goat cheese, spring vegetables or a chilled pea soup.
Enjoy!
Storing leftovers
Flatten any remaining ice cream to level the surface before returning the pint to the freezer. This will make the next spin easier and reduce unnecessary strain on the machine. Learn more about after-serving habits.
Tips
- Use small frozen peas for the brightest color and freshest flavor. Fresh shelled peas can replace them at the same weight when in season, but canned peas are not recommended because their muted flavor and soft texture can make the sorbet dull and pasty.
- Do not overcook the peas, or their color and fresh flavor will become dull.
