Why You'll Love This Recipe

 

• Refreshing and perfect for hot summer days
• Bright watermelon flavour with fresh lime and mint
• Made with simple ingredients
• Easy to prepare ahead of time
• Great for parties, BBQs, or family gatherings

 

Ingredients

 

• ½ watermelon, cut into chunks
• Juice of 4 limes
• ¼ to ½ cup whole mint leaves (adjust to your preferred mint flavour)
• ¾ cup white sugar
• ½ cup water
• 1 teaspoon LorAnn Watermelon Super Strength Flavor

 

Instructions

 

 

Step 1: Blend the Fruit

 

Add the watermelon chunks, lime juice, and mint leaves to a blender.

Blend until completely smooth.

Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the pulp. For the smoothest sorbet, strain it a second time and discard the remaining pulp. Set the strained juice aside.

 

 

Step 2: Make the Simple Syrup

 

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat.

Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.

 

Step 3: Churn the Sorbet

 

Pour the chilled mixture into your prepared ice cream maker.

Churn according to your manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft sorbet consistency.

Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container or baking pan, cover tightly, and freeze overnight before serving.

 

 

Love & Flour Tips

 

• Use a ripe, sweet watermelon for the best natural flavour.
• Start with ¼ cup of mint if you prefer a subtle mint finish, or increase to ½ cup for a more refreshing mojito-inspired flavour.
• Chilling the mixture before churning helps create a smoother texture.
• Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping for the perfect consistency.
• Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a small watermelon wedge for a beautiful presentation.
