Print Recipe

A quick and easy 5-ingredient summer treat featuring refreshing watermelon sorbet topped with whimsical blueberry stars. Perfect for hot days and gatherings, this sorbet is light, naturally sweet, and fun to eat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (about 600g) fresh seedless watermelon, diced
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
  • Small handful fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut about 4 cups (600g) of seedless watermelon into chunks and remove any seeds.
  2. Place watermelon chunks in a high-speed blender or food processor.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice and 2 tablespoons sugar or honey to the watermelon.
  4. Blend until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes. For a smoother texture, strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove pulp.
  5. If using, finely chop a small handful of fresh mint leaves and stir into the sorbet base gently.
  6. Pour the blended mixture into freezer-safe cups or bowls. Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm but scoopable.
  7. While the sorbet freezes, wash 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries and pat dry.
  8. Using a small star-shaped cookie cutter, carefully press into the blueberries to cut out tiny stars.
  9. Once the sorbet is firm, remove cups from freezer and top each cup with a handful of blueberry stars arranged on top.
  10. Serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

If sorbet becomes too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping. Sorbet can be enjoyed as a slushy treat immediately after blending if you don’t have time to freeze. Adjust sweetness based on watermelon ripeness. Stir sorbet once halfway through freezing for smoother texture. Blueberry stars can be replaced with other fruit shapes or served whole if no cookie cutter is available.
