How to Make Watermelon Granita

By sfxdotdev

This classic Sicilian dessert (now found all across Italy!) makes the perfect sweet treat to celebrate the good ol’U.S. of A! Granita is special because it’s not flavored frozen water, but rather frozen puree of whatever you’re looking for! Then it’s mixed every 30-45 minutes during the freezing process, giving it its unique texture! In this video I’ll show you how to make an easy mint simple syrup to flavor your granita with! Then we’ll mix it with watermelon puree to make a beautiful, refreshing dessert – PERFECT for 4th of July weekend – or any time you want a light (healthy!) dessert for a hot Summer’s day!
