3 Ingredient Melon Sorbet
Melon sorbet is made with just 3 simple ingredients and doesn't require an ice cream maker. This customizable frozen treat is a great way to cool down on hot summer days.
Ingredients
- 4 cups chopped cantaloupe, honeydew, OR watermelon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup to taste, honey will NOT work
- water or dairy free milk see the instructions for the amount
Instructions
- Arrange the fresh fruit chunks in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Freeze for 2 hours or until completely frozen.
- Add the frozen watermelon, honeydew, or cantaloupe to the bowl of a food processor with the sweetener, lemon juice, and water or non-dairy milk. The amount will depend on the power of your machine but start with less (around 1/2 cup), and add more as needed. For the honeydew, I ended up using about 1 cup. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides periodically. It will take some time to get it smooth.
- It's best eaten immediately as a soft serve consistency but can be stored in the freezer for a couple of hours for a more scoopable sorbet.
