Ginger lime watermelon sorbet with whipped coconut cream

One of my favorite uses of watermelon (besides devouring it by the spoonful!) is to freeze it for smoothies. Here I've blended frozen watermelon with fresh squeezed lime juice and ginger juice. If you want it sweeter you could add some honey. Or you could turn this into a watermelon margarita! Just add tequila, maybe a little basil or mint too!

To make the ginger juice: slice a bunch of fresh ginger and blend with water, and strain the pulp. Proportions depends on how spicy ya like it. I like it spicy! This is not a drinking juice, but something ya add to other things or take just a shot of for a quick pick me up.

For the coconut cream i like to use Trader Joe's coconut cream. It's really thick. There is usually  about 3 tbsp of liquid at the bottom of the can which i separate out from the thick cream. I whip the cream up with a blender so it's fluffy. I usually keep this in an old yogurt tub. It's a nice deep container just wide enough for blender blades (easy for re-whipping), put the top on and keep in the fridge. Try to resist putting coconut cream on everything!
