Watermelon Sorbet

This watermelon sorbet is made by pureeing ripe watermelon and freezing it into a smooth, icy dessert with a slightly chewy texture. It relies on the natural sweetness and vibrant color of the fruit, resulting in a refreshing treat that showcases the watermelon’s juicy interior. The final product is a bright pink, scoopable sorbet with a fine, granular ice texture.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups ripe watermelon, cubed seedless if possible

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Freezer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Ice cream scoop
  • Rubber spatula

Method
 

  1. Place the cubed watermelon into a blender.
  2. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and has a bright pink, uniform color, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour the pureed watermelon into a mixing bowl.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to break up ice crystals and promote a smooth texture.
  5. Once frozen and slightly firm, use a scoop or spatula to scrape and serve the sorbet. The texture should be icy but slightly chewy, with a vibrant pink appearance.
