Watermelon Lime Sorbet

This watermelon lime sorbet is the perfect sweet treat for those hot summer days. Plus, it couldn’t be easier. Freeze the watermelon, blend, and you are good to go!

This recipe does take a little planning because you need to have the watermelon frozen ahead of time. If you love this recipe, keep frozen watermelon chunks in the freezer for when your watermelon sorbet cravings hit!

Watermelon Lime Sorbet Ingredients

Watermelon

Obviously crucial to our watermelon sorbet!

Lime Juice

Just enough to add a little limey flavor. This is optional if you don’t like lime or don’t have lime juice on hand.

Lemon juice also works wonderfully!

Warm Water

Just a little to help the frozen watermelon blend!

What Other Fruits Can I Use?

Try swapping the watermelon for these other tasty fruits!

  • Cantaloupe
  • Honeydew Melon
  • Strawberries
  • Pineapple (make sure it is extra ripe and juicy!)
  • Mango
  • Peaches

Try store-bought frozen fruit to make this recipe even easier.

Happy Eating!

  1. Do Nutrition Facts ever include oxalate measurement figures?
    I am particularly interested in oxalate figures because I developed a huge & totally painless kidney stone that killed my left kidney and at the same time I developed a another totally painless kidney stone that has reduced the function in my right kidney to about 90%.

  2. Once again: What software, please, are you using to compute your nuttitional breakdown?
    I would have trouble limiting a serving to 1/2 cup; hence the K and P intake would deter me from the temptation! I love cold watermelon and am growing some for the first time ever in Virginia red clay soil. (They will be few and small; sandy soil along a creek is better…)

    1. Water melon is a total waste of money,it takes ages to pick all of the seeds out,and store bought water melon is a lot more expensive choice.

        1. 5 stars
          I totally agree.😊
          I’m not diabetic, possibly ore diabetic so am worried about sugar content but I love the taste of watermelon and the cold crunchiness.

      1. Buy seedless watermelon. Yes, they cost more – but no more seeds to pick out. When I eat watermelon in the summer my eGFR increases. If I buy too much watermelon, now I know I can freeze it and keep it on hand for sorbet.
