Watermelon Sorbet

Watermelon Sorbet

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.

Zest limes; set aside for garnish. Juice limes until you have 2 tablespoons juice.

Step 4

Cook’s Notes:

You can use agave nectar in place of honey.
