Watermelon Sorbet Recipe

Watermelon Sorbet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 cups watermelon (seedless and cubed)

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

• 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

• 1 teaspoon lime zest (optional, for a zesty kick)

• Fresh mint (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Watermelon:

   • Cut the watermelon into cubes and remove any seeds.

   • Measure out about 4 cups of cubed watermelon.

2. Blend the Ingredients:

   • In a blender or food processor, combine watermelon cubes, sugar, lime juice, and zest.

   • Blend until completely smooth.

3. Strain (Optional):

   • For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp.

4. Chill the Mixture:

   • Pour the mixture into a container and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours until very cold.

5. Freeze the Sorbet:

   • Using an Ice Cream Maker: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20–25 minutes).

   • Without an Ice Cream Maker: Pour into a shallow dish, freeze, and stir every 30–60 minutes for about 3–4 hours until it reaches a sorbet-like texture.

6. Serve:

   • Scoop into bowls and garnish with fresh mint and a slice of watermelon for a beautiful presentation
