Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon (ripe, frozen)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (or lemon juice)
Instructions
- Cut seedless watermelon into cubes and remove any seeds.
- Place the cubes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 3–4 hours until solid.
- Add the frozen watermelon cubes and lime juice to a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to achieve a creamy texture.
- Serve immediately as soft-serve, or transfer to a container and freeze for 1–2 hours for a scoopable consistency.
- If storing for later, allow the sorbet to sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
Notes
- Use a ripe watermelon for maximum sweetness and better texture.
- Freeze cubes in a single layer to prevent clumping.
- Optional: add mint, basil, or other fruits like strawberries for variation.
- To prevent freezer burn, press parchment paper directly onto the surface before sealing the container.
- Best consumed within one week for optimal texture and flavor.
