Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups watermelon, cubed and frozen
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • Optional: honey or other sweetener to taste

Instructions

  1. Freeze Watermelon: Dice fresh watermelon into cubes and place in the freezer overnight or until completely frozen to ensure a firm sorbet texture.
  2. Prepare Sorbet Base: Transfer the frozen watermelon cubes to a food processor. Add a few drops of lime juice initially to prevent splashing, then slowly add more to taste as you blend.
  3. Process to Sorbet: Blend the watermelon and lime juice until the mixture reaches a smooth, sorbet-like consistency. Adjust lime juice gradually for flavor and texture.
  4. Optional Sweetening: For a sweeter sorbet, gently incorporate honey or your preferred sweetener. Note that honey may cause slight textural changes with frozen droplets.
  5. Serve: Enjoy immediately for the best texture and refreshing taste.

Notes

  • Make sure watermelon is fully frozen to avoid a slushy texture.
  • Add lime juice gradually to control consistency and prevent splashing during blending.
  • Optional sweeteners can alter texture; honey may freeze into small droplets, stevia affects flavor.
  • Use a food processor for best results; a high-speed blender can also work.
  • Serve immediately, as the sorbet can melt quickly.
