Melon Sorbet {quick & easy}

August 19, 2014 by Erica 7 Comments

Melon Sorbet - Comfy Belly

Gather your ripe cantaloupes and honeydew melons. Melon sorbet is a simple, thirst-quenching treat.

For this recipe, use your ripest melons—cantaloupe, honeydew or some variation (and there are many variations). Mostly because they’ll be the sweetest of the bunch. Just cut them into cubes, seal and freeze.

Then when you want instant melon sorbet, place the frozen cubes in a food processor and add a drop of lime or lemon. That’s it.

Now you could start adding on to the recipe, but if you’re melon is very sweet you probably won’t need to add a single ingredient.

That said, I do like adding lime juice, a bit of lime zest, and a mint leaf for a touch of flavor and scent.

Melon Sorbet

Once you’ve pulsed the frozen melon and lime juice, taste it and if needed, add a bit of sweetener (honey or other sweetener). And if you don’t have lime, lemon works. Another nice addition is some lime zest.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (320 g) frozen melon cubes
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice (optional; according to taste)

Method

  1. Place the melon cubes and lime juice in a food processor and pulse until all the cubes are diced into small pieces.
  2. Pack the frozen melon into scoops and serve with a slice of lime.

    Can you recommend a food processor? I didn’t see one listed through your Amazon pages. I have never had one. I’ve tried to avoid too many appliances living in a small place with a tiny kitchen. I have a kitchen aid mixer & the food processor attachments for it but it is a hassle to use & couldn’t do this! My blender is just so, so. I have considered a Blendtec for a while thinking it would also function as a food processor and blender. Any advice would be so appreciated. I have young children & feel like the right one could help me so much with chopping up veggies!

      Thanks! I just grabbed one out of the freezer, although it was solid ice. I had to defrost it for a few minutes.

    Thank you

      Hi Ro, while I haven’t tried it yet, I think you can on a low setting. If it’s too high it will be a smoothie 🙂

    I love this idea – a nice alternative to the banana “ice cream” recipe.
