Print Recipe

A simple, silky, and refreshing watermelon sorbet made with just three ingredients: watermelon, sugar, and lime juice. Perfect for a quick, cooling summer dessert without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) seedless watermelon, cut into chunks
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Cut the seedless watermelon into roughly 1-inch chunks, measuring about 4 cups (600g).
  2. Add the watermelon chunks, 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lime juice into your blender. Pulse a few times to break up the chunks, then blend on high for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth and slightly frothy. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed.
  3. Taste the mixture and add a teaspoon more sugar if it feels bland or not sweet enough, then blend briefly again.
  4. Pour the blended mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container, spreading it evenly. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
  5. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, remove the sorbet from the freezer and use a fork or spoon to scrape and fluff it up to break ice crystals. Serve immediately once scoopable.

Notes

If sorbet freezes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping. Stirring the sorbet once or twice during the first couple of hours of freezing can help keep the texture smooth. Use seedless watermelon for best texture. Avoid over-blending to prevent warming the mixture. For variations, try adding fresh mint or basil, or substitute sugar with maple syrup or honey.
