Recipe

Remove the rind and seeds from the watermelon as much as possible, then gather only the red flesh and blend it finely in a blender.
Strain the blended watermelon juice through a fine sieve to obtain a clear juice with no pulp.
Add lemon juice for acidity and sugar generously for sweetness to the extracted watermelon juice, and stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Pour the finished watermelon base into a freezer-safe airtight container or an ice cream container, and freeze in the freezer for at least 24 hours until solid.
After a day, take out the frozen watermelon block and either process it in an ice cream maker or scrape it with a fork to incorporate air.
Stir evenly until a soft pink color appears, preventing the red pigments and water from separating and settling.
Return to the freezer and freeze for about 2 more hours to achieve a firm yet melt-in-your-mouth sorbet texture.

Blend the watermelon flesh, then strain through a fine sieve to get clear juice.
Mix the watermelon juice with lemon juice and sugar, then freeze for a day.
Take out the frozen watermelon, grind it finely or scrape with a fork to soften the texture, then freeze briefly to finish.

Cooking tips

Unlike sherbet, sorbet contains no dairy, so it has a clean, refreshing fruit flavor without any creaminess.
Watermelon juice tends to separate into water and pulp layers; to maintain a beautiful pink color, stir thoroughly from top to bottom during freezing or when scraping.
If you don't have a home ice cream maker, you can achieve a smooth texture by scraping with a fork every 1-2 hours during freezing, repeating 3-4 times.
