Steps to Make Watermelon Sorbet
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the cubed watermelon in an even layer and freeze until solid, which should take about 3 hours.
- In a food processor, combine the frozen watermelon, liquid sweetener, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of kosher salt. Process until the mixture reaches a mostly smooth and slightly chunky texture, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve immediately for a delightful soft-serve texture, or transfer to an airtight container, press parchment paper onto the surface, and freeze for 2-3 hours for a firmer sorbet.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing herbal touch.
Notes
Ensure the watermelon is completely frozen before blending to avoid ice chunks. Customize sweetness according to taste and avoid ice crystals by wrapping the container.
