Description

A cool, refreshing treat for the unbearably hot months of summer. The melon flavor really shines!

Ingredients

  • ½ whole Seedless Watermelon, Cut Into Chunks (rind Discarded) (about 8 Cups Of Chunks)
  • 2 whole Limes, Juiced
  • ⅓ cups Sugar

Preparation

Place half the watermelon, half the lime juice, and half the sugar in a blender. Process until smooth, then pour into a separate bowl.

Repeat with other half of ingredients. Pour into same bowl as other batch.

Transfer mixture to a 9 x 13 baking dish. Freeze for two or three hours, then begin the process of lightly scraping the top, frozen layer. Return pan to freezer with the shaved ice on top; remove a couple of hours later and continue scraping. Repeat the occasional scraping process until the entire mixture is shaved. Store, covered in plastic wrap, until serving.

Serve in pretty glasses with a twist of lime.

*Note: if you use a regular watermelon with black seeds, lightly blend the watermelon first, then push through a strainer to get rid of the seeds/seed particles. Then continue the recipe above.

Refreshing, simple, and healthy! I only used 1/4 C of sugar and it was still perfectly sweet.

Soooooo yummy. Very easy. I even started it too late in the evening to be able to “fluff” every couple hours but it wasn’t difficult the next morning. This was my first granita and we all love it! So much healthier to give my son, than sugary ice pops. Thanks for a yummy recipe.
