Very light and refreshing with the perfect amount of sweetness. Lime juice brightens up the flavor and adds a delightful zing. The texture is soft, reminiscent of a very light sorbet combined with a shaved ice. This is a great recipe to make with plentiful watermelon available in the summertime. It’s the perfect ending after a filling summer dinner or a refreshing snack on a hot day. You could even pour a shot of Cointreau® over the top or blend the mixture with tequila and enjoy it as a boozy summer treat.
Ingredients
- 8 cups cubed seeded watermelon
- 2 medium limes, zested and juiced, divided
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 pinch chili-lime seasoning (such as Tajin®)
Directions
Step 1
Place watermelon cubes in a single layer on a sheet pan. Freeze at least 5 hours or overnight.
Step 2
Zest limes; set aside for garnish. Juice limes until you have 2 tablespoons juice.
Step 3
Place 1/2 of watermelon cubes in food processor with 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy and transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining watermelon, honey, and lime juice.
Step 4
Stir the 2 batches together and serve immediately, garnished with lime zest and Tajin®. Or, place in a freezer-safe container and freeze for a firmer texture.
Cook’s Notes:
You can use agave nectar in place of honey.
