Yield Makes about 9 cups, serving 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
3 cups 1/2-inch chunks fresh pineapple (about 1), peeled and cored
4 cups chilled passion-fruit nectar or juice
3/4 cup chilled Champagne

Steps:

In a saucepan bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and cool syrup.
In a blender or food processor purée pineapple with 1/4 cup plus
2 tablespoons syrup (reserving remaining syrup for another use). Stir in nectar or juice and Champagne. Pineapple mixture may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
Transfer pineapple mixture to a shallow metal baking pan and freeze, stirring and crushing lumps with a fork every hour, until mixture is firm but not frozen hard, about 3 to 4 hours. Granita may be made 2 days ahead and frozen, covered. Just before serving, scrape granita with a fork to lighten texture.
Scoop granita into serving bowls.

Tips:

To make the granita as smooth as possible, use ripe, frozen fruit that has been peeled and pitted.
If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can mash the fruit with a fork or potato masher.
To make the granita more flavorful, add a splash of lime or lemon juice, or a pinch of salt.
If you want a boozy granita, add a shot of rum, vodka, or tequila.
Serve the granita immediately, or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Tropical fruit granita is a refreshing and delicious treat that is perfect for a hot summer day. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and refreshing treat that will cool you down and satisfy your sweet tooth.
