Print Recipe

A simple, refreshing watermelon sorbet made with just three ingredients: frozen watermelon, fresh mint, and lime juice. Perfect for a light, guilt-free summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600 grams) seedless watermelon chunks, frozen
  • 10–12 fresh mint leaves, washed and roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lime juice
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or agave nectar (for added sweetness)
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Cut seedless watermelon into roughly 1-inch chunks, about 4 cups (600 grams). Spread the chunks in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, until solid but not rock-hard.
  2. Rinse 10-12 fresh mint leaves, pat dry, and roughly chop to help release their flavor when blending. Set aside.
  3. Extract 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of fresh lime juice using a citrus juicer or by hand.
  4. Place the frozen watermelon chunks into a high-speed blender or food processor. Add the chopped mint leaves and lime juice. Pulse a few times to break up the chunks, then blend continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
  5. Taste the sorbet for sweetness and mint balance. If watermelon is less sweet, add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup and blend briefly again. If too soft, freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
  6. Serve immediately for a soft-serve style sorbet, or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer texture. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping if frozen.

Notes

Freeze watermelon chunks in a single layer to prevent clumping for smoother blending. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Do not over-blend to avoid watery texture. Optional sweetener can be added if watermelon is not sweet enough. Let sorbet soften slightly before scooping if frozen solid.
