Ingredients
- 2 cups watermelon scraps and uneven pieces plus 2 cups 2-inch cubes watermelon (no rind or seeds)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Zest and juice from 2 medium limes
- 1 pint heavy cream
- Flake sea salt such as Maldon, for sprinkling
- Sugar, for sprinkling
- 1 pint lemon sorbet
Instructions
- Make the granita: Puree the unevenly cut watermelon, honey, half the lime zest and juice from 1 of the limes in a blender on low speed until smooth. Pour into a 9-by-11-inch or 9-by-13-inch baking dish and freeze until it hardens completely, 3 to 4 hours.
- Whip the cream: Fit a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, then whip the cream in the mixer on medium speed until it holds fairly stiff peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Get ready: Arrange the watermelon cubes in a single layer on a clean work surface and add a tiny sprinkle of the sea salt and some sugar and the remaining lime zest and juice.
- Assemble: Arrange a few cubes of watermelon in the bottom of each serving glass or dish. Put a tablespoon of sorbet on top of the watermelon. Spoon a generous tablespoon whipped cream over the sorbet. Use the tines of a fork to scrape some of the granita off the surface. Sprinkle a generous tablespoon of the granita over the cream. Repeat the same order of layers 1 to 2 more times. Serve immediately.

Reviews
I had a hard time finding lemon sorbet. There were other sorbets but I wanted the lemon. I ended up with lemon gelato. The lemon and the watermelon are wonderful together so glad we did not swap out with another flavor. Absolutely delightful! Refreshing! Definitely make again!
This was AMAZING!!!! I would give it 10 stars if could. Everybody needs to try this parfait, its super easy and so good.
