Cantaloupe Granita

l saw this recipe last summer in food network channel. Being a big fan of Ice Gola (Snow Cone), I liked Granita as well, as the textures looked similar. Minimal ingredients needed, and easy to prepare; best part is no cooking required!

Cantaloupe Granita

Preparation Time : 10 min | Freezing Time : 9 hours | Serves : 2

Recipe Category: Dessert

Ingredients:

Ripe Cantaloupe – 2 cups, peeled, deseeded and cut into chunks

Lemon Juice – 2 tsp

Sugar – 4 tbsp

Method

• In a blender, add cantaloupe, sugar and lime juice and blend into a puree

• Put in a wide bowl and freeze. I did not cover it, and it came out good! After 3 to 4 hours, scrap it with a fork and freeze again. Leave it for 6 hours in the freezer

• After the puree is completely frozen, take it out, scrap it with a fork. Granita is ready

My Notes:

• You can try granita with any fruit puree
• Serve it immediately to avoid the granita becoming cantaloupe juice 🙂
• You can experiment by sprinkling fresh chopped herbs like mint, basil etc
