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!

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…)
I used a nutrition analysis software called NDSR for this recipe!
