As the weather begins to warm up, this granita is the perfect icy dessert to cool you down. It's fast, delicious, and only uses four ingredients! It is the perfect chilly treat to share with friends during those warm summer (and 90 degree April) days. Try spiking it up with a few shots of vodka!
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup orange juice
1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries
1. In a small saucepan bring water and sugar to a boil. Simmer until all sugar is dissolved, 3 min.
2. Puree orange juice and frozen strawberries in a blender until smooth.
3. Pour water and sugar mixture into a glass baking dish and allow to cool for 10 min. Add orange-strawberry juice (and vodka if desired) and mix until combined.
4. Place in freezer on a flat surface and scrape down ice with a fork every 30 min until no liquid remains, 2 hrs. *Freeze time may vary depending on baking dish size. Serve granita in a fun glass or ice cream dish.
