Description

Chill out this summer with a refreshing watermelon strawberry granita, a perfect semi-frozen dessert to cool you down.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups watermelon, cubed and seeded
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the watermelon, strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
  2. Blend until smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place in the freezer.
  4. Every 30 minutes, scrape the mixture with a fork to create a fluffy texture.
  5. Repeat the scraping process until fully frozen, about 4 hours.
  6. Serve in chilled bowls.

Notes

This granita is a great way to use up extra watermelon. It can be made without an ice cream maker. For a different flavor, try substituting other fruits. Store in the freezer and scrape before serving to maintain texture.
