Description
A refreshing, no-churn watermelon sorbet made with fresh puree, lime juice, and sugar. Creamy texture without dairy or an ice cream maker, perfect for hot summer days.
Ingredients
6 cups fresh watermelon, cubed (seedless if possible)
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup room temperature water
Instructions
Select a ripe watermelon by tapping it for a hollow sound and checking for a deep green rind with a yellow spot
Cut watermelon in half, remove seeds if necessary, and puree in a blender or food processor until smooth
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and water until sugar dissolves
Add watermelon puree and lime juice to the bowl, stirring well to combine
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork to break up ice crystals
Scoop into bowls and serve immediately
Notes
For easier seed removal, chill the watermelon flesh in the freezer for 10 minutes before cutting
Substitute 2 tablespoons sugar with 1/3 cup coconut sugar for a different flavor
Sorbet may separate slightly during freezing – stir vigorously before serving
Store in a lidded container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface for 2-3 weeks
