Watermelon Sherbet

Courses: Dessert
Serves: 12 people

Recipe Ingredients

8 cups 1168g / 41ozWatermelon - chopped and seeded
1 1/2 tablespoons 22mlLime juice
1 cup 237mlLight honey
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlGround cardamom
1/2   Unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup 118mlNonfat plain yogurt
12   Mint leaves

Recipe Instructions

1. Place watermelon and lime juice in a blender and puree. Set a colander or sieve over a large bowl and pour pureed watermelon through sieve, separating juice from pulp. Place juice, honey, cardamom, and gelatin in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook just to boiling point, then remove from heat. Let cool. Pour into a shallow pan or ice cube tray and freeze to slush point (about 1-1/2 hours).

2. Whisk yogurt into watermelon slush, then return to freezer. Allow to freeze solid (about 2 hours). Stir every hour to break up ice crystals.

3. To serve, cut sherbet into large chunks and puree very briefly in a blender or food processor. Spoon into dessert glasses, garnish with mint leaf, and serve.
