here is a refreshing treat that’s great for the entire family to enjoy just blend the ingredients transfer it to a freezer glass safe container scrape it a few times with the fork to help create a tasty watermelon granita
This Watermelon Granita is delicious and so refreshing. It’s such a tasty treat for those hot summer days!
Ingredients: 🍉 4 cups cubed watermelon 🍉 1 1/2 cups orange juice, I used pure orange juice that’s not from concentrate 🍉 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice 🍉 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Method: Cut the watermelon into chunks, measure 4 cups, and place them in a blender. Also add the orange juice, lime juice, and maple syrup . Blend until the mixture is smooth. Pour it into a glass freezer-safe container ( I used a 8 cup container that is freezer safe or may also use a 9×13 glass container). Cover it with its lid and place it in the freezer for 3 hours. Following the process below: 1-After 3 hours, remove the lid and scrape it with a fork (focusing on the corners as well). It should be of a slushy consistency. Place the lid back on and put it back in the freezer for an additional hour. 2-Remove from the freezer and scrape it with a fork, making sure to mash any large chunks. Also, focusing on scraping the corners as well. Place it back in the freezer for another hour. 3-Remove from the freezer and scrape it with a fork, making sure to mash any large chunks and don’t forget the corners again. Place it back in freezer for another hour. 4-Scrape with fork, serve and enjoy!
Continue this process until it’s at the consistency you prefer-(either slushy like consistency or that of shaved ice).
Note: if it sits in the freezer overnight or longer remove it from the freezer and allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes or until you can scrape it with a fork.
Personally i like to freeze watermelon with lemonade powder until fully solid then blend it with a little milk and its kinda like a sorbet. You should try it its really good
