Ingredients
- 1 lt water
- 600 g fresh strawberries, chopped (21 oz)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 200 g caster sugar (7 oz)
Instructions
- In a large blender add half the strawberries and half the water and blend until pureed.
- Fold in the remaining strawberries and water, add the sugar and lemon juice and blend until creamy and well combined.
- Transfer the granita mixture into a large metal container ( it will shorten freezing times than using a plastic one) cover, and transfer in the freezer.
- Refrigerate for half an hour, then stir vigorously the mixture to break any ice crystals.
- Repeat every 30 minutes, for 2-3 times, or until your granita has reached a velvety sorbet-like texture. Alternatively, you can blend the mixture with a hand blender every 45 min.
- For the ice cream maker version:
- Follow step 1.
- Transfer the granita mixture into a cooled ice cream maker bucket.
- Start the machine and allow it to work the mixture for 30 min or until it reaches a creamy sorbet-like icy texture.
- Once ready, it's best to eat your granita straight away.
