Passionfruit Granita Refreshing Treat (Print version)

Vibrant passionfruit granita with tangy, icy layers offering a refreshing summer experience.

# What You Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 1 cup passionfruit pulp, about 8-10 passionfruits with seeds included or strained as preferred

→ Sweetener

02 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar

→ Liquid

03 - 1 1/2 cups cold water

→ Citrus

04 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

# How to Make:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine the passionfruit pulp, sugar, water, and lime juice. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
02 - Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish such as a metal baking pan to create a thin layer.
03 - Place the dish in the freezer for 45 minutes.
04 - After 45 minutes, use a fork to scrape and break up any ice crystals forming along the edges.
05 - Return the dish to the freezer. Every 30 minutes, scrape the mixture again with a fork, raking from the edges to the center, to create a fluffy, crystalline texture. Repeat for about 3 hours until the granita is frozen and flaky throughout.
06 - Serve immediately in chilled glasses or bowls, garnished with fresh passionfruit seeds or mint leaves if desired.

# Expert tips:

01 -
  • Refreshingly tangy passionfruit flavor in every bite.
  • Stunning crystalline layers make for a visually impressive dessert presentation.
  • Incredibly simple to prepare with just four primary ingredients and no cooking required.

02 -
  • Consistency is key: scraping every 30 minutes prevents the mixture from turning into a solid block of ice.

  • Check that the sugar is completely dissolved before freezing to ensure the smoothest crystalline texture.
