Two-Ingredient Low-Calorie Dessert Recipe: Watermelon Sorbet
I’ve always loved watermelon, but little did I know how much I’d love frozen watermelon!
For years, I searched for the perfect low-calorie dessert that was simple yet satisfying. I wanted something refreshing and light without a long list of ingredients or complicated steps. But nothing ever hit the mark—until I found this recipe.
At a dinner party two years ago, I discovered an easy watermelon sorbet recipe, and it was a game-changer. Just two ingredients—watermelon and lime—created a low-calorie dessert that tasted like summer in a bowl. After tweaking the freezing time and texture, I found the perfect smooth, delicious blend that’s now my go-to treat! For the smoothest consistency, I use this food processor .

This dessert is incredibly light, refreshing, and has just the right balance of natural sweetness from the watermelon and a hint of tartness from the lime. And with only two ingredients, it’s low-calorie, easy to make, and guilt-free. Besides watermelon is a great addition to a healthy diet.
One challenge is that watermelons aren’t available year-round. To solve this, I buy them in bulk during the summer, cut them into chunks, and store them in freezer bags. While you can only store so many bags, this makes it possible to enjoy this summer treat even after watermelon season ends.

This vibrant pink sorbet isn’t just delicious—it’s also visually stunning. Serve it up with a garnish of fresh mint leaves for a little extra flavor and elegance.
