Description

A refreshing (and healthy! and easy!) summer dessert. Next time you’re tempted just to bring sliced watermelon to the BBQ, make this instead and everyone will thank you!

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Watermelon Chunks
  • ½ cups Mint Leaves, Packed
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar (optional)

Preparation

Combine ingredients in a food processor and puree. Pour into a dish and place into the freezer. Every hour for the first 4 hours, take a fork and scrape the granita to keep it slushy. Serve and enjoy!

(If you forget to scrape it for 4 consecutive hours, just let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving.)

I filled a tall glass 2/3 full with this granita and added 7-Up to the top, tall straw—it was awesome.
