Can I use coconut milk instead of coconut water?
Go for it! If you want a creamier texture, coconut milk would taste fantastic. If you don’t have either, you can also use regular water with an optional drop of coconut extract.
What other sweetener can I use?
We used agave syrup, but honey makes another great substitute.
How to Freeze Watermelon

Tips on How to Make Watermelon Sorbet
Be sure the watermelon chunks you use are completely frozen. This is the key to achieving that sorbet consistency! If you’re using fresh watermelon, cut it into chunks and freeze it for at least 3-4 hours before blending. Blender We used a 14-cup food processor, but it only filled it up halfway. If your food processor is smaller, you may need to blend in batches.
How to Store Watermelon Sorbet
This watermelon sorbet is best served right away, but you can also store it in the freezer for later. To do so, transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze it for up to one week. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before scooping. Summer Punch
