Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups frozen watermelon cubes

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, based on sweetness)

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Cut fresh watermelon into cubes and freeze for at least 2 hours.

  2. Add frozen watermelon to a food processor or high-speed blender.

  3. Add lime juice, sweetener (if using), and salt.

  4. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

  5. Serve immediately for soft-serve texture or freeze for 1-2 hours for firmer sorbet.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness to taste; omit sweetener if watermelon is ripe enough.

  • Add mint leaves or a splash of coconut milk for variation.

  • Works best with seedless watermelon.

  • For a slushier version, use partially frozen watermelon.
