    Watermelon Granita is a semi-frozen dessert made with sugar, water, and Watermelon Juice. It is an Italian frozen dessert

    Granita is a semi frozen dessert made with sugar, water, and various flavorings. It is basically from Italy. Sorbet is another dessert that is made by freezing pureed fruit. However, sorbet and Granita have a similar preparation only the texture differs.

    Sorbet is more compact when compared with Granita. In WaterMelon granita I have not used water as the watermelon itself has 92% water content. This can be the perfect dessert for this hot summer. We can prepare granita with various fruits.

    How to Prepare Watermelon Granita

     
    1) Chop the watermelon into small chunks ,preferably remove the seeds. In a blender add in the Lemon juice and sugar and blend it well.
     
    2) In the same blender now add in the Watermelon chunks  and pulse into a fine puree. Remove the puree from the blender and pour it into a freezer safe container.
     
     
     
    3)     Freeze it for about 3 hours .Remove it after 3 hours and see, it would have set partially. Scrape it with the help of a spoon and then continue freezing.
     

    4)     After next 3 hours repeat the same process .Freeze it for another 3 hours it would have set perfectly and then the Granita consistency would have reached .If it is not set properly you can repeat the same process. Scrape it carefully with a fork. 

    Cooling Water Melon granita is now ready to be served.

     

    Tips

    • Serve the granite immediately as it tends to cool down after taking out from the freezer.
    • Don’t skip the Lemon juice as it gives a great flavour to the Watermelon Granita
    • The perfect consistency is that it should look like icy crystals.
    • Always use a fork to break the granita ,as with a spoon we might not get the perfect grains.
