When I first tried this…

It was SO hot outside. I’m talking sweat-dripping, kids-fighting-over-the-hose, iced coffee-melting-in-10-minutes kind of day.
I had a giant watermelon on the counter, and no one wanted to eat it in chunks anymore. So I froze it on a whim — and blended it with a little lime juice and honey.

Friends… the result was a frosty, sweet, hydrating dream. 🍉❄️
Since then, this watermelon sorbet has become my go-to when I want to cool down without grabbing a sugar bomb from the store. It’s made with real food, takes no time, and tastes like pure summer.

💡 Sarah’s Tips

• No sweetener needed if your watermelon is super ripe.

• Add mint for a refreshing twist!

• Want it creamier? Add a splash of coconut milk or a frozen banana.

• Store it: Keeps in the freezer for up to 1 month — just let it thaw a few minutes before scooping.
