Instructions

  1. Blend all of the ingredients together in a blender. Adjust sweetness to taste. Pour the mixture into a shallow glass baking dish and place in the freezer.
  2. Remove the dish after 30 minutes and using a fork, scrape the mixture, breaking up any icy clumps. Return the dish to the freezer. Repeat the process every thirty minutes or so, scraping the mixture with a fork to break up the ice crystals and create a light and fluffy texture. It should take about 2 hours total.
  3. Scoop the granita into dessert bowls or glasses. Serve plain or garnish with whipped cream and/or lime zest. Serve immediately.
