Ingredients
Units
Scale
Frozen Watermelon:
- 2 cups cubed frozen watermelon (ripe, seeds removed)
Frozen Strawberries:
- 1 cup sliced frozen strawberries (ripe, organic when possible)
Frozen Bananas:
- 1 cup sliced frozen bananas (ripe and spotty)
Liquid of Choice:
- 1/4–1/2 cup almond milk, coconut milk, or coconut water
Instructions
- Prepare Frozen Fruit: If your fruit isn’t already frozen, ensure it’s ripe and juicy, slice it, and freeze it on a parchment-lined baking sheet overnight or for at least 4-6 hours until firm.
- Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen watermelon, strawberries, and bananas. Add the lesser amount of liquid of your choice.
- Blend: Blend on low and then high until smooth. Use a tamper for a blender or blend in increments and scrape down the sides for a food processor.
- Adjust Consistency: If needed, add more liquid gradually to help with blending. Avoid adding too much to prevent the sorbet from becoming too runny.
- Adjust Flavor: Taste the sorbet and add more fruit as desired for a stronger flavor. Blend again if necessary.
- Serve: Enjoy the sorbet immediately or freeze it in a loaf pan for a firmer texture. Serve with additional fruit toppings if desired.
- Storage: Leftover sorbet can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. For a different presentation, freeze the sorbet in molds for popsicles or ice cubes.
