Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 cups (600g) seedless watermelon, cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Tajin seasoning, plus extra for garnish
- Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (if watermelon is not sweet enough)
- Optional: substitute lime juice with lemon juice for a different citrus note
Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon: Cut about 4 cups (600g) of seedless watermelon into small chunks. Remove any seeds if present. Chill the watermelon in the fridge for 30 minutes beforehand for extra cold sorbet.
- Blend Watermelon: Place the chilled watermelon chunks into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and liquidy, about 1-2 minutes, aiming for a silky texture without large pieces.
- Strain (Optional): Optional: Pour the watermelon puree through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to remove pulp and fibrous bits for a smoother sorbet.
- Mix Ingredients: Stir in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice and 1 teaspoon Tajin seasoning into the watermelon liquid. Taste and adjust; add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup if the watermelon isn’t very sweet.
- Freeze and Stir: Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container. Freeze for about 1 hour, then stir vigorously with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Repeat stirring every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours until firm but scoopable.
- Serve: Scoop the sorbet into bowls or cups. Sprinkle a little extra Tajin on top just before serving.
Notes
- Chilling the watermelon beforehand helps achieve an extra cold sorbet.
- Pouring the puree through a fine mesh strainer is optional but recommended for a smoother texture.
- Adjust sweetness with honey or agave syrup if the watermelon is not sweet enough.
- You can substitute lime juice with lemon juice for a different citrus note.
- Stirring the sorbet every 30 minutes as it freezes prevents large ice crystals and results in a creamier texture.
