This delightfully refreshing watermelon sorbet combines the juicy sweetness of fresh watermelon with the tang of lime, the creamy richness of yogurt, and a hint of maple syrup for an all-natural touch of sweetness.
Watermelon sorbet is the perfect tropical fruit frozen treat! Some of my other favourite frozen fruit treats include these hydrating watermelon ice- pops, this jackfruit sorbet, these dragonfruit popsicles, or if you're feeling like something different then why not try these spicy rambutan ice pops?!
I also create non frozen healthy treats with fresh watermelon such as this watermelon jelly or this refreshing watermelon juice recipe.
