How to Make Watermelon Sorbet
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Spread the cubed watermelon evenly across the sheet, then freeze until solid, about 3 hours.
- In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the frozen watermelon, liquid sweetener, lime juice, and kosher salt. Blend until smooth and slightly chunky, around 1 minute.
- Process the mixture again for 4 to 6 minutes, or until it’s smooth and creamy.
- For soft-serve consistency, serve immediately. For firmer sorbet, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 2 to 3 hours.
Notes
Garnish with mint leaves or a sprinkle of lime zest if desired.
