Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (cubed) seedless watermelon
- 0.5 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
1. Cut a seedless watermelon into cubes until you have about 4 cups of fruit. Remove any seeds if necessary.
2. Place the watermelon cubes in a blender and blend until completely smooth.
3. Strain the watermelon puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large mixing bowl to remove any pulp. Discard the pulp.
4. Add sugar and fresh lemon juice to the watermelon juice and whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
5. Stir in the unsweetened almond milk until well combined.
6. Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover and place in the freezer.
7. After 1 hour, remove the container from the freezer and stir the mixture with a fork or whisk to break up any ice crystals.
8. Repeat this process every hour for 4 hours, or until the sherbet is creamy and fully frozen.
9. Once frozen, scoop the sherbet into bowls and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
