Description
This refreshing 3-Ingredient Easy Watermelon Granita is a simple, icy dessert perfect for hot days. Made with fresh watermelon, tangy lime juice, and a touch of agave nectar, this granita is effortlessly blended and frozen to create a light, shaved ice texture that cools and delights.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 watermelon (seedless or seeds removed, about 4 cups cubed watermelon)
- Juice of two limes
- 3 tablespoons agave nectar
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cubed watermelon, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar. Blend until smooth and well combined to create a refreshing mixture.
- Freeze Mixture: Pour the blended watermelon mixture into a square 8x8 inch container or a 5 x 9 loaf pan. Spread evenly and place it in the freezer for at least three hours to allow it to set solid.
- Scrape Granita: Once the mixture is fully frozen, use a fork to scrape the ice gently, creating a fluffy, shaved ice texture. This process forms the classic granita consistency.
- Serve: Serve the granita immediately after scraping for a cool, refreshing dessert. Enjoy the light and fruity treat right away for best texture.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less agave nectar according to taste.
- If you want a more textured granita, scrape it once every hour during the freezing process.
- Use seedless watermelon or remove seeds for a smoother blend.
- Store leftovers in the freezer and scrape again before serving, though the texture may soften slightly over time.
