Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 whole watermelon, peeled, cubed, and de-seeded (about 6 cups of watermelon chunks)
- 1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons lime juice)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the watermelon: Peel and cube the watermelon, making sure to remove all seeds. Spread the watermelon chunks on a baking sheet or plate in a single layer and freeze overnight or for at least 8 hours until solid.
- Blend the sorbet base: Place the frozen watermelon chunks into a blender. Add the freshly squeezed lime juice and honey. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and has a scoopable consistency similar to soft-serve ice cream.
- Scoop and serve: Use an ice cream scoop to portion the sorbet into individual serving glasses or bowls.
- Garnish and enjoy: Top each serving with fresh mint leaves for a pop of flavor and an attractive presentation. Serve immediately for best texture.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- If the sorbet is too soft, freeze it for an additional hour before serving.
- Using a high-powered blender or food processor will give you a smoother texture.
- If you prefer a tarter sorbet, increase the lime juice to 3 tablespoons.
- To speed up freezing, cut watermelon into smaller chunks.
