Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 cups watermelon chunks
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt


Instructions

  1. Freeze the watermelon: Place 4 cups of watermelon chunks in a large zip-top bag or Tupperware container and freeze for 3 hours until solid.
  2. Blend the watermelon: Transfer the frozen watermelon to a food processor and blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute until smooth and slushy.
  3. Add flavorings: Add 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt to the food processor with the watermelon puree. Blend for another 30 seconds until fully combined.
  4. Freeze the sorbet: Spread the watermelon mixture into a large freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 3 hours to firm up the sorbet texture.
  5. Serve: Scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately for the best refreshing taste and texture.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • You can adjust the amount of lime juice and salt to taste for balancing sweetness and tartness.
  • If the sorbet becomes too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
  • Use ripe, sweet watermelon for the best natural flavor without extra sweeteners.
  • This sorbet is best consumed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
