Print Recipe

A simple, quick, and refreshing watermelon sorbet with a spicy Tajin rim and bright lime zest, perfect for cooling off on hot summer days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups watermelon, cubed and seeds removed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • Juice of 2 limes (about 3 tablespoons)
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons Tajin seasoning (for rimming)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut a fresh watermelon into approximately 6 cups of cubes, removing seeds.
  2. Place the watermelon cubes in a blender or food processor and blend on high until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Optional: Pour the blended watermelon through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl to remove pulp for a silkier texture.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt until sugar is fully dissolved.
  5. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Pour the chilled mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container and freeze for 3-4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours to break up ice crystals.
  7. Just before serving, rub a lime wedge around the rims of serving glasses and dip them into Tajin seasoning to coat evenly.
  8. Scoop the sorbet into the Tajin-rimmed glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of lime zest.

Notes

If sorbet freezes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping. Stirring frequently during freezing helps maintain smooth texture. Tajin rim adds a spicy, tangy contrast; substitute with chili powder, lime zest, and salt if unavailable.
