Time 2h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
6 cups roughly chopped seedless watermelon (about 2 pounds)
1/2 cup sugar
1 lime, zested
2 inches ginger, divided, 1-inch cut into coins and 1-inch peeled and grated
fleur de sel, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a blender, blend the lime juice and watermelon together, creating watermelon water.
  • Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds.
  • Place 1/2 cup of the watermelon water into a saucepan and add the sugar, lime zest and ginger coins. Bring the mixture to a simmer to dissolve the sugar and infuse the liquid with the ginger and lime flavor. Set aside to cool.
  • Add the grated ginger to the remaining watermelon water. Once the syrup is cool, remove the ginger coins and mix into the watermelon water. Pour the mixture into a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish. Place the dish into the freezer to chill.
  • Every 30 minutes, scrape the mixture with a fork to break up the ice crystals and to keep it light and fluffy. Continue scraping every 30 minutes for at least 2 hours. Scrape the granita into elegant glasses and sprinkle with fleur de sel.
  • Cook's Notes:.
  • Taste your watermelon, this will tell you how much sugar to add to your simple syrup.
  • The fork helps to create ice crystals that will help give you a slushy consistency.

I used a different type of melon, cantaloupe, and it worked just as well. The granita was just as refreshing and delicious.

The watermelon granita was a bit too tart for my taste, so I added a little bit of honey to sweeten it up. It was perfect after that!

I love how easy this recipe is to make. I simply pureed the watermelon, ginger, and lime juice in a blender, poured it into a baking dish, and froze it. After a few hours, I scraped the mixture with a fork and served it in glasses. It was a big hit w
