Method
 

Instructions for Making Watermelon Sorbet
  1. Select a ripe watermelon, cut it into 1-inch cubes until you have about 6 cups. Arrange the cubes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for approximately 5 hours or until solid.
  2. Once frozen, place the watermelon cubes in a high-powered blender. Add 3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice. If the watermelon is too hard, let it soften slightly at room temperature.
  3. Blend the mixture on high until it reaches a fluffy consistency, about 30–60 seconds. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Scoop out the sorbet immediately for a soft-serve texture or transfer to a freezer-safe container for a firmer texture. Defrost slightly before serving if needed.
