Can I use frozen watermelon?

Nope - fresh is best here! Frozen watermelon gets too watery when thawed, which makes icy sorbet. I learned this the hard way after a disappointing batch. That fresh watermelon texture is key to the perfect scoop.

Is coconut milk absolutely necessary?

Yes! It's the secret to that dreamy creamy texture. Without it, you'll just have watermelon ice (still tasty, but not the same). If you're out, try canned coconut cream for extra richness.

How do I prevent icy sorbet?

Stir, stir, stir! Breaking up those ice crystals every couple hours makes all the difference. My grandma's trick? Use a fork to scrape the frozen edges into the center - works like magic.

Can I make this sugar-free?

Absolutely! Swap the honey for your favorite sugar-free sweetener. Just taste as you go - watermelons vary in sweetness. I sometimes skip sweetener entirely with super ripe melons.
