Fruit Granita

If it’s a hot summer day, this is a great dish to serve to guests. I recommend making several different flavours for variety!

Prep time: ~4 hours
Gluten-free
Raw
Serves 4

Ingredients:

Strawberry and basil granita:

  • 1 tub strawberries, hulled and sliced in half.
  • 1 large handful basil, shredded.
  • Sweetener of your choice, to taste.

Lemon and mint granita:

  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice.
  • 1 handful mint, shredded.
  • Sweetener of your choice, to taste.
  • Water, to dilute the lemon juice.

Cooking Instructions

Place the strawberries and basil in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth, adding sweetener to your preference. Put in a freezer-safe container and set aside. Do the same with the lemon and mint.

Place both containers into the freezer for at least 4 hours, stirring every half hour to prevent it from freezing solid, but instead making a crunchy ice. Serve in cute little dishes.
