Watermelon Granita
Kids love this frozen watermelon treat that has NO ADDED SUGAR
Ingredients
- 5 cups watermelon, cut into chunks, seeds removed (about half of a small watermelon)
Instructions
- Put watermelon in a blender. Purée until smooth.
- Strain into an 8″x 8″ glass baking dish and place in freezer, uncovered. (Don’t use a nonstick dish as you may ruin the finish when you scrape the granita.)
- Every 30 minutes or so for about 3 to 4 hours, scrape the mixture with a fork, making sure to get the solid bits around the edges.
- The granita is ready when it is frozen, but still grainy.
Notes
If you want to add a touch of citrus, squeeze half a lime into the blender with the watermelon.
