Ingredients

• 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon, sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until you achieve a smooth puree.
2. Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container and freeze for about 4 hours, stirring with a fork every 30 minutes to break up any ice crystals. This ensures a smooth and scoopable texture.
3. Once the sorbet is fully frozen and has a smooth consistency, scoop it into chilled glass bowls.
4. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately to enjoy its refreshing taste in full swing.

Helpful Tips

• For a slightly different flavor profile, try adding a hint of lime juice instead of lemon juice.
• If you prefer a less sweet sorbet, reduce the amount of sugar by half.
• To make it even easier for beginners, you can use store-bought watermelon juice instead of pureeing fresh watermelon.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping to make it easier to serve.

Ingredient Substitutions

If watermelon is not in season, try substituting with cantaloupe or honeydew for a different twist on this refreshing sorbet.

Pairings

This Watermelon Sorbet pairs beautifully with a refreshing glass of iced lemonade or a light fruit salad. It’s also a delightful complement to a grilled seafood platter, making it ideal for beachside picnics or summer barbecues.
