Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 1 (3-oz) package lime gelatin mix (like Jell-O®)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp lime zest, freshly grated (optional, for extra zing!)
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a bowl, whisk the whole milk and lime gelatin mix together until the powder is fully dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and optional lime zest until just combined.
- Freeze Solid: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint, secure the lid, and place it on a perfectly level spot in your freezer for at least 24 hours.
- First Spin: Once frozen solid, place the pint into your Ninja Creami and process using the “Ice Cream” button. The texture will likely look dry or crumbly—this is normal!
- Re-spin to Perfection: Lock the pint back in and press the “Re-spin” button. This cycle transforms it into a smooth, scoopable sherbet. If it’s still crumbly, add 1 Tbsp of milk and re-spin one more time.
Notes
- Serving Suggestions: Garnish with extra lime zest or a fresh mint sprig. It’s fantastic on its own or alongside fresh berries.
- Tips & Tricks: For the best texture, don’t skip the whole milk and heavy cream! Freezing on a level surface is crucial to protect your machine’s blade.
- Storage & Leftovers: Store leftovers in the same pint container in the freezer. When you’re ready for more, simply use the “Re-spin” function to bring it back to that perfect, creamy consistency.
