Tangy Passionfruit Granita (Print Version)

Light, tangy passionfruit ice with crystalline texture and refreshing citrus notes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 1 cup passionfruit pulp (about 8-10 passionfruits, 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

# Steps to Follow:

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.

# Additional Tips::
