Sweet & Refreshing Watermelon Sorbet
Make Delicious Homemade Watermelon Sorbet Easily
When you think of summer fruits, watermelon is probably the first to come to mind, right? Today, instead of the usual watermelon punch or juice, we’re going to make something a little more special: watermelon sorbet! It’s incredibly refreshing and offers the pure, sweet flavor of watermelon in a delightful, smooth texture that everyone, from kids to adults, will love. Enjoy a wonderful dessert at home that rivals any cafe’s offering!
Ingredients- 5 cups ripe watermelon (cubed)
- 1/2 cup agave syrup (or honey, or other liquid sweetener)
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup cold milk
- 2 Tbsp chocolate chips (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, slice the watermelon into thin, manageable pieces. Then, use a spoon to gently scrape out the seeds from the flesh. This method makes seed removal much easier and ensures a smoother sorbet texture.
Step 2
Once the seeds are removed, cut the watermelon flesh into uniform cubes, about 2 cm in size. Cubing the watermelon makes it easier to blend thoroughly in the next step.
Step 3
In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon, agave syrup (for sweetness), fresh lemon juice (for a bright tang), and cold milk (for creaminess). Blend until the mixture is smooth and pureed.
Step 4
For an extra smooth and velvety texture, strain the watermelon puree through a fine-mesh sieve. This removes any remaining fibrous bits, resulting in a wonderfully creamy sorbet.
Step 5
Portion the watermelon puree into freezer-safe bags or containers. Ensure you seal them tightly to prevent freezer burn and any air from entering, preparing them for freezing.
Step 6
Once the watermelon puree is solidly frozen, remove the bags or containers. Gently break up the frozen mixture into sorbet-like crystals. You can do this by tapping the bag with the back of a spoon or a small rolling pin. If it’s too hard to break, let it thaw slightly at room temperature for a few minutes. After breaking it up, stir in the chocolate chips to resemble watermelon seeds.
Step 7
Your beautiful and delicious watermelon sorbet is now complete! Enjoy this refreshing summer treat.
