Time 4h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups watermelon scraps and uneven pieces plus 2 cups 2-inch cubes watermelon (no rind or seeds)
2 tablespoons honey
Zest and juice from 2 medium limes
1 pint heavy cream
Flake sea salt such as Maldon, for sprinkling
Sugar, for sprinkling
1 pint lemon sorbet

Steps:

  • Make the granita: Puree the unevenly cut watermelon, honey, half the lime zest and juice from 1 of the limes in a blender on low speed until smooth. Pour into a 9-by-11-inch or 9-by-13-inch baking dish and freeze until it hardens completely, 3 to 4 hours.
  • Whip the cream: Fit a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, then whip the cream in the mixer on medium speed until it holds fairly stiff peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Get ready: Arrange the watermelon cubes in a single layer on a clean work surface and add a tiny sprinkle of the sea salt and some sugar and the remaining lime zest and juice.
  • Assemble: Arrange a few cubes of watermelon in the bottom of each serving glass or dish. Put a tablespoon of sorbet on top of the watermelon. Spoon a generous tablespoon whipped cream over the sorbet. Use the tines of a fork to scrape some of the granita off the surface. Sprinkle a generous tablespoon of the granita over the cream. Repeat the same order of layers 1 to 2 more times. Serve immediately.
