Pineapple and Mango Granita

The name granita sounds fancy but its pretty much a slushy. To make a granita all you have to do is blend a fruit, pour the fruity liquid into a dish, and let it freeze. Use a fork to occasionally scrape the icy mixture. Here’s my tropical version – This color is sunny, the tropical flavors shine, and it just sings ajua!

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend the lime juice, sugar, pineapple, and mangos until pureed.
  2. Pour all ingredients into a 9 x 9-inch baking dish. Cover it with plastic wrap and freeze for 2 to 3 hours.
  3. Freeze for two to three hours and gently scrape the top layer with a fork. Repeat every two hours until all of it has been scraped.
  4. Scoop into ramekins or pretty glasses, add a sprig of mint or seasonal fruit for garnish, and enjoy.

Notes

  • You could use lemons instead of limes.
  • For an adult version, add a splash of tequila or coconut rum.
