Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon cubed and frozen
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 cup water
Optional Add-ins
- 1/4 cup strawberries hulled
- 1 tablespoon mint leaves

Preparation
- Cut the watermelon into cubes and remove all seeds. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze for at least 4 hours until solid.
- Place the frozen watermelon cubes, sugar, lime juice, and water into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, adding more water if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
- Transfer the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container. Spread it evenly, cover, and freeze for 2-3 hours until firm.
- Scoop the sorbet into bowls or serve in hollowed-out watermelon rinds. Garnish with mint leaves or a slice of lime if desired.
- Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. To soften, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
