Blender-Fresh Watermelon Sorbet
This Blender-Fresh Watermelon Sorbet is a simple, refreshing treat bursting with juicy watermelon, zesty lime, and fresh mint—perfect for hot summer days!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon cubed and seeds removed
- 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup choose your preferred natural sweetener
- 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed for the best flavor
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves chopped finely
Instructions
- Start by cutting a ripe watermelon into small cubes, making sure to remove all the seeds for a smooth sorbet texture. Measure out 4 cups of the cubed watermelon and place it in your blender.
- Pour in 1/4 cup of honey or agave syrup. Next, squeeze in 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice to add brightness and balance the sweetness.
- Secure the lid on your blender and pulse the ingredients until they form a smooth, slushy mixture, about 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides occasionally.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh mint leaves to add a cooling herbal note.
- Transfer the mixture to a shallow, freezer-safe container and freeze for about 3 to 4 hours. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for easier scooping.

Notes
- Use seedless watermelon or remove seeds thoroughly to avoid unpleasant bites.
- Adjust sweetness by tasting before freezing; add more honey or agave if needed.
- Freeze watermelon cubes beforehand for quicker blending and creamier texture.
- For extra smooth sorbet, strain blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week; soften before serving.
