Ingredients

Instructions 

  • Place the watermelon cubes in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Strain the watermelon puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove pulp and seeds. Discard the solids.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely to create a simple syrup. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
  • Mix the cooled simple syrup and lime juice into the watermelon puree, stirring until fully combined.
  • Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes.
  • Transfer the churned sorbet into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
  • Scoop and serve the watermelon sorbet in bowls or cones. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, use ripe and sweet watermelon. You can adjust the lime juice to taste for a tangier flavor.
