What do you do when you have a ton of leftover watermelon that you don’t know what do with, because you know it won’t get eaten before it goes bad?
First – throw in the freezer before it spoils.
Second – Make this awesome Watermelon Sherbet!
This recipe uses strained SCD yogurt and only has four ingredients!
Sherbet is typically fruit mixed dairy to make a frozen dessert that is often used for a palate cleanser. This sherbet fits that perfectly. This dessert is very refreshing, with light, subtle flavors.
I used to be a bit reluctant to mix melon with yogurt, but then I saw a recipe for a watermelon smoothie. I tried out and liked it! Since I was in the mood for something ice-cream-like, I decided to make some.
I made this in my food processor and froze in a pan, but you could also use an ice cream maker. I didn’t have any ice or rock salt (I have an old-fashioned ice-cream maker) so I had to go the freeze and stir route, which was fine.
Whenever I make a frozen yogurt dessert, I strain it for at least 24 hours. I like to use this wire-mesh strainer I bought from Amazon. You can also use cheese cloth or a nut-milk bag, but I find the strainer to be the less messy.
SCD Watermelon Sherbet
Ingredients
- 2 cups watermelon - frozen into cubes
- 2 cups strained SCD yogurt
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
-
Place frozen watermelon into food processor

Process until watermelon is completely chopped up and looks like a snow cone - which is pretty awesome in itself
-
Add yogurt, honey, and lime juice
-
Process until smooth
-
Pour into a loaf pan or other freezer container

This freezes pretty solid, so you'll want to take it out of the freezer and let it warm up 10 - 15 minutes before serving

Hi
I’ve noticed my yoghurt turning out slimy during my latest attempt. Why would this be so? I don’t use a yoghurt maker. I boil milk then add a yoghurt as starter.
What do you do to cook the yogurt after you add the starter? I’ve only used a yogurt maker to make yogurt. It could be thet the temperatures are getting to the right levels causing not to set quite right.
