Can I make watermelon sorbet without an ice cream maker?

Yes! This recipe is designed for blender use. Just freeze the watermelon first, blend, and chill again if needed. No fancy tools required.

What’s the best way to store leftovers?

Keep any extra sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer. Place a sheet of parchment paper directly on top of the sorbet to prevent ice crystals from forming.

How do I make it sweeter or less sweet?

Adjust based on the fruit. Ripe summer watermelon is usually sweet enough, but a touch of honey or maple syrup can help. Blending in a ripe banana adds gentle sweetness and a naturally smooth finish to the sorbet.

Can I use frozen watermelon from the store?

Absolutely. Just make sure it’s unsweetened and has no added syrups. Let it thaw slightly before blending if your blender struggles with solid cubes.

Is this safe for kids and toddlers?

Definitely. There’s no added alcohol or artificial colors. Just skip the honey for babies under one year old.
