This refreshing Watermelon Sorbet is the perfect way to beat the heat on a hot summer day. Made with just a few simple ingredients—sugar, water, juicy watermelon, and a touch of lemon juice—this sorbet is naturally sweet and bursting with fresh flavor. The best part? It’s super easy to make and requires no special equipment beyond a blender and a freezer. Just freeze, puree, and enjoy a cool, icy treat that’s as light and refreshing as a summer breeze!

Now that the weather is starting to warm up, I have had a craving for some juicy watermelon. The other day I decided to pick up a watermelon from the store to satisfy my craving, the catch...it was an 8 pound watermelon! This thing is a beast! Not sure what I was thinking, since there is no way the hubby and I will be able to eat it before it goes bad, but I justified the purchase since it was on sale (I think I got it for $2!).

Nothing screams summer like watermelon in a refreshing sorbet. This icy treat will have you begging for more!

After making my spur of the moment purchase, I decided to whip up some watermelon sorbet to use up some of the fruit. After all, nothing screams summer like watermelon and frozen treats!
