Time 20m

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small watermelon, peeled and deseeded (see tips)
130ml vodka
For the syrup
150 caster sugar
Zest and juice 2 limes
40g fresh ginger, grated
A few fresh mint leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Roughly chop the watermelon, put it into a blender or food processor with the vodka and whizz until smooth (see tips). Strain into a deep tray, then freeze for 1 hour. Drag a fork through the granita to break up the ice crystals, then freeze for 45 minutes more. Drag the fork through again. Repeat after another 45 minutes or so until the ice has a rough, grainy texture.
  • Meanwhile make the syrup. Dissolve the sugar in 80ml water in a pan on a low heat, stirring occasionally, until clear. Boil the syrup briskly, adding the zest and juice of the limes and grated ginger. Cook for about 5 minutes until just syrupy, then cool but don't put in the fridge. To serve, scoop the granita into glasses, drizzle over the syrup and scatter with the chopped mint.

WATERMELON GRANITA



Watermelon Granita image

The granita is a cross between sorbet and Italian ice, and there's a cool trick to get the right icy texture. My version is made with watermelon and a little vodka for a perfect adults-only frozen treat.

Categories     dessert

Time 5h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 cups watermelon, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup sugar
Juice of one lime, or lemon
1 2/3 cups watermelon, finely diced
Good quality vodka, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice, peel, and cube 6 cups of watermelon. Combine coarsely chopped watermelon, sugar, and lime juice in a bowl and let stand until macerated and juicy, 25 minutes.
  • Process in a blender until just smooth, then pass through a China cap using the back of a ladle. Transfer to a shallow metal tray and remove the foam on top. Freeze, stirring and scraping occasionally with a fork until crystals form and granita is frozen (2-4 hours). Every 20-30 minutes, scrape a fork through the mixture to create the crystals.
  • To serve, divide finely diced watermelon among chilled serving glasses and top with granita. Drizzle with vodka (optional) and serve immediately.
