Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups frozen watermelon cubes (seedless and fully ripe) Choose a watermelon that’s in-season for the best sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice Can substitute with fresh lemon juice if limes are not available.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut a ripe, seedless watermelon into small cubes, ensuring to remove any black seeds. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the cubes in a single layer. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely solid.
  2. Transfer the frozen watermelon cubes to a high-speed blender or food processor. Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice. Blend until smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes or add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to assist.
  3. For a soft-serve consistency, serve the sorbet right away. For a denser texture, spoon the blended mixture into a loaf pan, smooth the top, cover, and freeze for 1 to 2 hours. Use a warm scoop to serve clean rounds.

Notes

Keep the sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain its texture. It can last up to two weeks, but it’s likely to be eaten sooner!
