Prepare the base

  1. Zest 1 lemon, keeping only the yellow part of the peel and avoiding the bitter white pith.

  2. Press all 4 lemons to extract the juice.

  3. Mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, water, and maple syrup until fully combined.

  4. Taste the mixture and adjust with a little more maple syrup if needed.

Freeze and spin

  1. Pour the mixture into a Ninja CREAMi pint, without exceeding the MAX FILL line.

  2. Close with the storage lid and freeze flat for 24 hours.

  3. Once fully frozen, run the SORBET program.

  4. If the texture is powdery or crumbly after the first cycle, run RE-SPIN.

    Still not right after re-spinning? See how to fix the texture.

Serve

Serve immediately, while the ice cream is still nice and creamy.

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
