A quick and easy homemade watermelon sorbet that requires no ice cream maker, perfect for a refreshing summer dessert ready in just 5 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) seedless watermelon, cubed and chilled
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons granulated sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • A small pinch of salt
  • Optional: a few fresh mint leaves or a splash of lime juice

Instructions

  1. Cube and chill the watermelon: Cut about 4 cups (600g) of seedless watermelon into small cubes. Place them in the fridge or freezer for about 30 minutes to chill.
  2. Blend the watermelon: Transfer the chilled watermelon cubes to your blender or food processor. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar or honey, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Puree until smooth: Blend on high for about 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is silky and smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Taste and adjust: Taste the mixture and add more sugar or lemon juice if needed, then pulse briefly again.
  5. Transfer to a container: Pour the watermelon puree into a shallow, freezer-safe container and spread evenly.
  6. Freeze for 1 to 2 hours: Place the container in the freezer. After about 45 minutes, stir the sorbet with a fork or whisk to break up ice crystals. Repeat every 30 minutes until firm but scoopable.
  7. Serve: Scoop into bowls or cones. If too hard, let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Chill watermelon before blending for smoother texture and faster freezing. Stir sorbet every 30 minutes during freezing to prevent ice crystals and maintain scoopability. Adjust sweetness based on watermelon ripeness. Use a shallow container for even freezing.
