# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Tajín gives the sorbet a playful spicy-salty edge that feels like a treat just for you.
  • It comes together faster than you’d expect and turns even lazy days into a little celebration.
02 -
  • Skipping the fork raking gives a sad, dense chunk instead of those dreamy, airy crystals.
  • Once, I got shy with the Tajín and regretted it — it’s truly the magic ingredient here.
03 -
  • Don’t crowd the baking sheet or the melon pieces will freeze into a solid block.
  • When in doubt, use more lime — the tartness wakes up every bite.
