During the hot summer months, there’s nothing more refreshing than a cool, icy treat. One of my all-time favourites is watermelon sorbet. It’s incredibly easy to make, utterly delicious, and a great way to use up any extra watermelon you might have. Let’s dive into how you can whip up this delightful dessert!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups of cubed seedless watermelon
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup of water

Step-by-Step Guide

Here’s how you can make your watermelon sorbet:

  •  Cut the watermelon into small cubes and remove any seeds if you’re not using a seedless variety.
  • Blend the watermelon cubes until smooth. Strain the puree to remove any pulp, providing a softer texture.
  •  In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat until the sugar dissolves entirely, creating a simple syrup. Allow it to cool.
  •  Mix the watermelon puree, simple syrup, and lemon juice in a large bowl.
  •  Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze. For the best consistency, stir the mixture every 30 minutes until it is completely frozen.

Serving Suggestions

Scoop your watermelon sorbet into bowls or onto cones for a delightful summer treat. Garnish with mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness. This sorbet is perfect for kids and adults and will surely be a hit at any summer gathering. Enjoy!
