Can I make 2-ingredient watermelon sorbet without a food processor?

Yes, while a food processor or high-speed blender provides the smoothest texture, you can use a standard blender. If you don't have either, you can mash the fruit and use the granita method by scraping it with a fork every 30 minutes while freezing.

How long does watermelon sorbet stay fresh in the freezer?

For the best flavor and texture, consume the sorbet within 1 to 2 weeks. Because it lacks stabilizers found in commercial ice cream, it can become very hard if stored longer; just let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping.

Do I need to add sugar to this sorbet recipe?

Generally, no! If your watermelon is ripe and in season, its natural sugars are sufficient. However, if your fruit is less sweet, you can add a tablespoon of honey or agave nectar during the blending process.

Is this watermelon sorbet vegan and gluten-free?

Absolutely. This recipe uses only fruit and lime juice, making it naturally vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, suitable for almost any dietary requirement.
