  • Yield: 4 servings

Description

Cool off with this easy watermelon sorbet, a delicious summer treat made from fresh watermelon!


Ingredients

  • Ripe Watermelon: The star of the sorbet! Use seedless watermelon for ease and a naturally sweet base.
  • Sugar: Adds sweetness to the sorbet. Adjust based on the sweetness of your watermelon.
  • Lime Juice: A splash of lime juice enhances the watermelon flavor and adds a zesty kick.
  • Water: Used to blend the mixture until smooth. Try to keep it minimal to retain the sorbet’s texture.

Instructions

  1. Begin by cutting the watermelon into chunks and removing any seeds. Place the watermelon chunks in a blender or food processor.
  2. Add the sugar, lime juice, and a little bit of water to the blender. Blend until smooth, pulsing as necessary to get rid of any chunks.
  3. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.
  4. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or a loaf pan, making sure to spread it evenly.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for about 4 hours or until solid.
  6. Once frozen, use a fork to scrape the top layer to create a fluffy texture before serving.

Notes

  • Choose a ripe watermelon for the best flavor.
  • Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of your watermelon.
  • Can be stored for up to a week in the freezer.
