Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon (frozen)

Instructions
- Freeze the Watermelon
Dice seedless watermelon into chunks. Freeze on a baking sheet in a single layer for at least 2 hours or overnight. - Blend
Add the frozen watermelon to a food processor or high-speed blender. Add maple syrup or honey if your watermelon isn’t super sweet. - Process Until Creamy
Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. It should have a soft-serve sorbet texture. - Serve or Freeze
Serve immediately for a soft texture, or transfer to a container and freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer scoopable sorbet.
Optional Add-Ins
🍋 A splash of lime or lemon juice for brightness
