Units Scale

Ingredients for Watermelon Granita:

  • 1/2 whole Seedless Watermelon, Cut Into Chunks (rind Discarded) (about 8 Cups Of Chunks)
  • 2 whole Limes, Juiced
  • 1/3 cup Sugar

Instructions

  1. Blend the Ingredients: Place half the watermelon, half the lime juice, and half the sugar in a blender. Process until smooth, then pour into a separate bowl.
  2. Repeat Blending: Repeat with the other half of the ingredients. Pour into the same bowl as the first batch.
  3. Freeze and Scrape: Transfer the mixture to a 9 x 13 baking dish. Freeze for two to three hours, then lightly scrape the top frozen layer. Return to the freezer, scraping occasionally until the entire mixture is shaved.
  4. Serve: Store covered in plastic wrap until serving. Serve in pretty glasses with a twist of lime.

Notes

  • If using a regular watermelon with black seeds, blend the watermelon first and strain to remove seeds before following the recipe.
