How to Make Watermelon Sorbet

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spread cubed watermelon evenly on it. Freeze until solid, which should take about 3 hours.
  • In a food processor or blender, combine the frozen watermelon cubes, liquid sweetener, lime juice, and kosher salt.
  • Blend the mixture until it's smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed. This should take about 5-7 minutes for the perfect texture.
  • If you’re ready to enjoy right away, scoop out the sorbet for a delightful soft-serve experience!
  • For a firmer texture, transfer the sorbet to an airtight container, cover with a sheet of parchment, and freeze for 2-3 hours.
  • When you’re ready to indulge, let it thaw briefly at room temperature before scooping for easier serving.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of freshness.
