Watermelon Sorbet with Lime (Printable)

A smooth, icy dessert blending sweet watermelon with bright lime for ultimate summer refreshment.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 8 cups seedless watermelon, cubed

02 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar

03 - 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

04 - Pinch of salt

01 - Place cubed watermelon in blender and blend until completely smooth.

02 - Pour puree through fine-mesh sieve into large bowl to remove pulp for smoother texture.

03 - Add sugar, lime juice, and salt to watermelon juice. Stir until sugar fully dissolved.

04 - Pour mixture into shallow freezer-safe dish and freeze for 30 minutes.

05 - Stir vigorously with fork to break up ice crystals forming around edges.

06 - Repeat stirring every 30 minutes for approximately 3 hours until sorbet is scoopable and fluffy.

07 - Serve immediately or freeze longer for firmer texture. Allow to sit at room temperature for few minutes before scooping if very hard.

01 -

Tastes like biting into cold watermelon but with an icy, silky texture that feels almost luxurious
Requires zero cooking equipment and comes together faster than you can load the dishwasher
Naturally vegan and free of practically everything, so everyone at your summer gathering can actually eat it

02 -

The quality of your watermelon makes or breaks this recipe, so if it tastes bland or mealy raw, no amount of sugar will save it
Skip the straining step if you like a bit of texture, but know that the fibers can become oddly stringy when frozen
If you forget to stir it and it freezes into a solid block, let it thaw slightly and re-blend before freezing again

03 -

Use the widest shallow container you have so the mixture freezes more quickly and evenly
Set multiple alarms on your phone for the stirring intervals because you will absolutely lose track of time
The sorbet is best within the first week but will keep for up to a month if stored properly in an airtight container
