Ingredients

  • 3 cups cubed seedless watermelon
  • 1 lime rind removed
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pint heavy cream *
  • Maldon sea salt optional for serving
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place watermelon and whole lime (without the rind) into a high powered blender and blend until smooth.
  • Place a fine-mesh strainer over a 4 cup liquid measuring cup and strain the juice. You should end up with 2 cups juice.
  • Pour into a very large bowl and whisk in the sweetened condensed milk and salt. Set aside.
  • In another large bowl, whip cream (using a hand or stand mixer) until stiff peaks form.
  • Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the cream into the watermelon/condensed milk mixture, being careful to not knock out too much of the air.
  • Pour into a large, sealable freezer-safe container, top with saran wrap (it should be touching the ice cream, this prevents ice crystals), then seal with an airtight lid.
  • Allow to freeze overnight (or at least 6 hours), then serve with a sprinkle of sea salt, if desired, and enjoy!
  • If the sherbet is too firm, allow to sit out at room temperature for 15-30 minutes.
  • Take 5 seconds to rate this recipe below. We greatly appreciate it!

Notes

*Use cream with the highest fat content you can find. Pasteurized heavy cream or ultra-pasteurized heavy cream will give you the sturdiest whipped cream which will hold up to the watermelon juice the best. Heavy whipping cream also works (it's what I used), but the end results may be slightly icier and not quite as fluffy.
