Watermelon Granita Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 small watermelon
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Directions:

1. Cut the watermelon in half and scoop out the flesh from both sides with a spoon. Remove all the seeds and discard them.
2. Place the watermelon flesh in a blender and blend until smooth.
3. Strain the watermelon puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids.
4. Add sugar and lime juice to the watermelon puree, and whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
5. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, cover it with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.
6. After 30 minutes, remove the dish from the freezer and scrape the mixture with a fork to break up any ice crystals that have formed.
7. Repeat the process every 30 minutes, scraping the mixture with a fork until it’s completely frozen and has reached a slushy consistency.
8. Serve the watermelon granita in chilled glasses and enjoy!

This Watermelon Granita is a refreshing and delicious summer treat that’s easy to make and perfect for hot days. The sweetness of the watermelon pairs well with the tartness of the lime, making it a balanced flavor. The granita has a slushy, icy texture and is a great alternative to ice cream.
