Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups ripe watermelon chunks seedless or de-seeded
  • 1 lime lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt preferably sea salt or flaky salt

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Freezer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Ladle

Method
 

  1. Place the watermelon chunks into a blender. Blend on high until completely pureed, with a smooth, uniform consistency and no visible chunks.
  2. Add the freshly squeezed lime juice and salt to the blender. Pulse a few times to incorporate evenly, ensuring the mixture is well-balanced and slightly tangy.
  3. Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl and taste to adjust seasoning if needed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid.
  4. Place the bowl in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture to break up ice crystals, repeating this process 3-4 times until the sorbet reaches a firm, scoopable consistency.
  5. Once fully frozen and smooth, serve the sorbet in bowls or glasses. Optionally, garnish with a small wedge of lime or a sprig of mint for presentation.
