Granita - Ice Cream

Watermelon Granitas

Course Drinks
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • cup sugar
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 8 cups seeded watermelon chunks

Instructions
 

  • Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse on low until blended and smooth.  
  • Pour mixture into a 9″ x 13″ glass dish, cover with plastic wrap, and place in freezer for 3 hours.
  • Remove from freezer and using a fork, scrape the top layer of the mixture, and around the sides, working toward the center, to loosen it from the pan. The mixture will not be completely frozen.
  • Return to the freezer for another 2 hours (set a timer if you have to). Repeat the scraping process again, repeating the freeze-scrape process until all parts of the mixture are frozen.  
  • Once the entire batch is scraped into flaky crystals, you can serve, or store in the freezer in a tightly-sealed container for up to 1 day.
  • Spoon into ice cream dishes, martini glasses or other stemware, with a garnish of your choice, and eat with a spoon like Italian ice. (Serves 8)
