Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 cups rhubarb (chopped- if using cups, chop first, then measure, but I highly recommend using a scale)
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 8 oz whipping cream (optional, whipped until thick)

Instructions

  1. Start by making sure you have space for a metal pan in the freezer.
  2. Place the rhubarb, lemon juice and sugar in a pot and cook until soft. Let cool, then chill for about 2 hours or until cold.
  3. Put the rhubarb compote in a blender or use an immersion blender, and process to a purée.
  4. Mix the rhubarb purée and the water then pour into a metal pan and freeze.
  5. Begin setting a timer for 45 minutes intervals. When the timer sounds, remove the pan from the freezer and stir well with a fork. The first time, it will seem like it's not working, but it's okay. Put the pan back into the freezer. Continue this for at least 4 or 5 times or until the granita is ready. You will know when you have ice crystals instead of a solid mass.
  6. Transfer to clear serving glasses or dessert bowls, if serving immediately. If not, move the granita to a sealed container and keep frozen.
  7. If you are serving it with cream, top the rhubarb ice with freshly whipped, unsweetened cream. Serve with a Sicilian brioche for an authentic experience.
