Description
This sorbet blends ripe watermelon puree with fresh lime and mint, freezing into silky, jewel-toned scoops that melt on your tongue with each juicy, cool burst.
Ingredients
- 4 cups seedless watermelon cubed and chilled
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp fresh mint leaves chopped
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Combine watermelon, sugar, lime juice, mint, and salt in a blender.
- Blend on high until completely smooth.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or lime juice as desired.
- Pour the puree into a shallow freezer-safe container.
- Freeze for 2 hours, stirring vigorously with a fork every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals.
- Once the sorbet is firm yet scoopable, serve immediately or store covered in the freezer.
Notes

- If you prefer a finer texture, strain the puree before freezing
- You can substitute honey or agave syrup for sugar if desired
- Allow sorbet to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving
