Print Recipe

A simple, refreshing sorbet made with just three ingredients: watermelon, lime, and optional sweetener. Perfect for hot summer days, this icy treat delivers a bright citrus zing and silky smooth texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (about 600g) diced seedless watermelon, chilled
  • Juice of 2 large fresh limes (about 3–4 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons honey, agave syrup, or simple syrup (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for blending or garnish)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut the watermelon into roughly 1-inch chunks, removing any seeds if not seedless. Chill the pieces in the fridge for at least an hour.
  2. Juice 2 large limes to get about 3-4 tablespoons of fresh juice. Strain out seeds but keep pulp if desired.
  3. Place chilled watermelon chunks in a blender or food processor. Add lime juice and sweetener if using. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness or lime juice as needed, blending briefly again if adjustments are made.
  5. Pour mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
  6. Optional: Stir the mixture every hour during freezing with a fork or spatula for a softer texture.
  7. Before serving, let sorbet sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or lime zest if desired.

Notes

Chill the watermelon before blending to avoid watery sorbet. Stirring during freezing helps achieve a smoother texture. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Sweetener is optional depending on watermelon sweetness. Let sorbet soften slightly before scooping for best mouthfeel.
