Watermelon sorbet
Report
There's nothing quite so refreshing as watermelon, especially when used in this watermelon sorbet. It's perfect for a warm summer's day when you want a sweet treat that’s full of all the goodness of watermelon. This watermelon sorbet recipe is extra special as we've added collagen peptides to give this satisfying sorbet a health boost.

Ingredients
Simple Syrup:
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ cup water
- 2 Tablespoons collagen GLG brand, unflavored
Watermelon:
- 1 watermelon peeled, deseeded and cut up into 1 inch cubes, large
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice
Notes
- Always start this recipe by making the collagen syrup since it needs to cool down before mixing it with the watermelon.
- Use quality GLG collagen in your recipe, the unflavored collagen was my choice today as I wanted the watermelon flavor to shine.
- Don’t over cook the collagen, as soon it boils for a minute and dissolved completely, remove it off the heat.
- When chopping your watermelon, make sure you cut them into small enough chunks. The smaller they are cut, the better they will whizz up smoothly. If they are frozen too big, then when it comes down to processing it, you will get a more gritty sorbet that won't be as satisfying.
- Make sure you process the frozen watermelon in small batches to avoid having a runny sorbet with chunks of frozen watermelon.
- It’s best to eat this sorbet immediately due to the way it's been made. As it hasn't been made with an ice cream maker, you can’t refreeze it for too long.
- Freezing this recipe for too long after it's been processed together means it will just turn into a block of ice instead of smooth watermelon sorbet.
- Sorbet means 'ice water' and is traditionally flavored water that is frozen. Sorbet is often made using sweetened water and fruit processed altogether and frozen.
- You can make sorbet vegan, but this watermelon sorbet recipe is not. Since I’ve added collagen peptides, which come from animals, this healthy summer treat isn't vegan. You can make it vegan by leaving the collagen peptides out.
- Yes, this watermelon sorbet is completely dairy-free, so perfect for those who can't have dairy and would like a similar summer treat to ice cream.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a large bowl and a hand processor and puree the watermelon in batches.
- It's easy to get mixed up between the two as they are both iced sweet treats and sound very similar. But sherbert is also made with the addition of other ingredients like milk or cream, whereas sorbet only has fruit, flavoring, and water.
