What I love about strawberry watermelon sorbet
- No ice here. The right amount of sugar is key to getting a perfectly creamy sorbet, and even though it’s dairy free, this recipe is super creamy.
- Adding strawberries to the mixture adds color and brings a little extra sweetness that brings out the natural watermelon flavor.
- Chocolate chunks resemble watermelon seeds and give this watermelon sorbet a fun look. Plus, they remind me of the watermelon ice cream we used to get as kids.

Needless to say, it was a lot of work getting this watermelon home to make sorbet. Luckily, the actual making of the sorbet wasn’t. In fact, it was a piece of cake. All you need to do is blend up the watermelon and strawberries and mix them with some coconut milk and simple syrup. Then you churn the mixture in an ice cream maker. That’s it.
