How to Make the Recipe

Let’s get started! This recipe is so simple, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

1. Freeze Watermelon: If you haven’t already, cut a seedless watermelon into small cubes and freeze them until solid. This will take about 4 hours or overnight.
2. Blend: Add the frozen watermelon cubes and lime juice to a high-powered food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. You’re aiming for a texture that’s similar to sorbet.
3. Serve Immediately: Scoop the sorbet into bowls and enjoy right away. If you prefer a firmer texture, you can freeze it for an additional 30 minutes before serving.

Optional Add-ins

Feel free to get creative with your sorbet! Here are a few ideas:

• A few fresh mint leaves for a burst of fresh flavor
• A drizzle of honey or agave if you want it a bit sweeter

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are a few tips to ensure your sorbet turns out perfectly every time:

• Use Seedless Watermelon: This ensures your sorbet is smooth and free of any unwanted crunch.
• Don’t Over-Blend: Stop blending as soon as the watermelon is smooth. Over-blending can make the sorbet too watery.
• Adjust Lime Juice: If you prefer a stronger lime flavor, add the full 2 tablespoons. For a lighter touch, start with 1 tablespoon and taste as you go.

How to Serve

There are so many fun ways to enjoy this sorbet:

• Serve it as a light dessert after your favorite easy pasta recipes or quick family dinners.
• Use it as a palate cleanser between courses during a special meal.
• Top it with fresh fruit, coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of lime zest for extra flair.

Make Ahead and Storage

While this sorbet is best served fresh, you can make it ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 days. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly.

And there you have it, my friends—your new go-to recipe for a quick, refreshing dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re looking for 30-minute meals, weeknight dinner ideas, or just a sweet treat to satisfy your creamy garlic pasta cravings, this sorbet is sure to hit the spot.
