Watermelon Lime Sorbet

By tonym

A sweet and tangy watermelon lime sorbet is a great way to cool off in the summer. As a bonus, this recipe is frozen back in the watermelon rind and cut off into slices. As a variation you can add chocolate chips to simulate seeds and give it a little extra sweetness.

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• 8 cups cubed fresh watermelon
• 1/3 cup lime juice

Preparation

Step 1

Place water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook until sugar is completely dissolved to create a syrup. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

In a food processor or blender, mix together watermelon cubes, syrup and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Add to an ice cream machine and freeze according to manufacturer’s directions. Serve immediately as soft serve sorbet or freeze in an airtight container and remove a few minutes prior to serving to let soften for scooping.
