Watermelon Sorbet 3 Ingredients (Printable View)

Bright, icy sorbet from frozen watermelon, a touch of sugar or honey, and fresh lime — chill until scoopable.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into cubes (about 1 small watermelon)

→ Sweetener

02 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar or honey (adjust to taste)

→ Citrus

03 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

# How To Make It:

01 - Spread the watermelon cubes out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 2-3 hours, or until the cubes are solid.
02 - In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the frozen watermelon cubes, sugar (or honey), and fresh lime juice. Blend until perfectly smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
03 - Taste, and adjust sweetness or lime juice if desired.
04 - For a scoopable sorbet, transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or airtight container and freeze for another 1-2 hours until firm.
05 - Serve immediately for a softer texture, or scoop after fully frozen.
