This easy watermelon sorbet is made with frozen watermelon, lime juice, and a little honey. No ice cream maker needed — just blend and freeze for a refreshing summer dessert.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups frozen watermelon cubes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey, optional
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  • Add the frozen watermelon, lime juice, honey if using, and sea salt to a high-speed blender or food processor.
  • Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  • If the mixture is too hard to blend, let the watermelon sit for 3 to 5 minutes or add 1 tablespoon of water or lime juice at a time.
  • Serve immediately for a soft sorbet texture.
  • For a firmer sorbet, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping if frozen solid.

Notes

  • Use fully frozen watermelon for the best texture.
  • A food processor usually works better than a blender for thick sorbet.
  • Add honey only if your watermelon needs more sweetness.
