Watermelon and Lime Granita
This recipe is adapted from The Pioneer Woman. It's so easy and refreshing. It's the perfect Summer time treat
Ingredients
- 8 cups seedless watermelon cut into 1” cubes
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 limes juiced
Instructions
- Add lime juice and sugar to a blender. Then add some of the watermelon, until your blender is ¾ full. Blend all the ingredients until smooth. Pour about half of the mixture into a rectangular baking pan. Add your next batch of watermelon and blend again. Pour into the dish and give it a mix.
- Freeze the mixture uncovered for 1 hour. Stir, mashing any frozen parts with a fork. Cover and freeze mixture until firm, about 2 hours. Using a fork, scrape granita vigorously to form icy flakes. Cover tightly with foil and keep frozen. Give it a quick scrape before serving.
TIP: Use any leftover watermelon to scoop out chunks with a melon baller to add to your granita. Garnish with lime slices and thin mini slices of watermelon.
