Description

A refreshing and naturally sweet watermelon sorbet, perfect for hot summer days. It’s easy to make with minimal ingredients and no ice cream maker required.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups watermelon, cubed and seeds removed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. In a blender, add watermelon cubes and blend until smooth.
  3. Add the cooled sugar syrup and lime juice to the watermelon puree and blend again to combine.
  4. Pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze for about 3-4 hours, stirring with a fork every 30-45 minutes to break up ice crystals.
  5. Once firm and scoopable, serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

  • Use ripe and sweet watermelon for best flavor.
  • For a smoother texture, strain the watermelon puree before freezing.
  • Can be made ahead and stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
