This prosciutto melon granita experiment came out shockingly well, and tastes exactly like a prosciutto-wrapped piece of melon, with the texture of a snow cone. This beautiful granita straddles the line between sweet and savory, and doesn’t require a machine or any special equipment to make. Enjoy!

I wonder how cantaloupe would taste
🤌Italian🤌
How about a gabagool with vinegar peppers granita now.
I don't know if my tastebuds are broken but honeydew melon is never sweet to me.
Okay, chef, after seeing this horrendous mixture evolve, I need you to make the most visually digusting meal you can possibly think of, but it tastes amazing.
Another prize-winner, Chef John!
Can I just sizzle all the prosciutto into tasty bits for my salad?
Chef John is an artist. But swamp rice and now this. Is this his green period?😂❤
Could a pinch of marmite be a nice vegan option for this recipe?
I cant afford prosciutto, can I infuse it with spam jelly?
Since you're working with mellons, doing the "after all you are the…" with Dolly Parton's name would have totally worked.
It's like bacon ice cream?
I don't usually badmouth videos on this channel, but that is the most forked granita I've ever seen
I admit I'm Italian and I've never heard of this recipe – curious to try it out!
This reminds of the “ tobacco sorbet “ that I seen on a video from the French laundry.
With a parmesan tuile, perfect!
We often serve (with pre-dinner drinks) cubed watermelon wrapped in prosciutto and then in a large basil leaf so I know this will be good but I do think making this watermelon has a little more eye appeal as a palate cleanser between couses.
At my restaurant my brother on a crazy whim bought a margarita machine. We had a full bar but in so much that it was a fine dining restaurant we didn't sell any more margaritas then any other cocktail. What we did do with the machine is make various fruit granitas and served them complimentary between courses. It was very popular.
I cant picture it, but am compelled to try it.
Just when I think I’ve got you figured out, John, you pull this Heston Blumenthal sh**. 😆
i love Angela Giratina
You are, after all, the Carol King of how you make your prosciutto swing.
It’s just dessert
Chef John fully in his mad scientist era 😂
Honeydew>Cantaloupe.
"Prosciutto Sludge" would be a good name for a band.
What kind of drunken binge produced this??? 😂
Needs Midori, a cherry, and no meats of any kind. Were you bored today?😂
Lol. Nope.
"Not too much"
adds in a surprisingly LARGE "pinch" of sugar
So basically a twist on your Cayenne and Cantaloupe Sorbet but with prosciutto in the mix this time and no cayenne.
Nice sweet treat to beat the heat 💚 🍈
3:29 I wasn't too bothered by the look while it was cooking until the very end as you were dumping through the strainer, when I had the thought… "I've expelled stuff that looked more appetizing than that."
So now I'm just hanging on, trusting Chef John, {doesn't hurt I've already seen the result, so I know it'll be ok by the end}. Woof.
the color of the psychos house line had me dying
An ugly duckling story of a dessert.
gross
Up next: chocolate meatloaf soft serve…
Being from Northern Europe, I adore all dished mixing sweet and hearty flavours. I don't care what is mixed, it must be good! (We even eat our kale with pork and sugar.)
… sugar, not too much — Adds two handful of sugar 🙂 Boils scum.
🤢
Stoners everywhere out there going he has found the way.
I never would have considered using honeydew with prosciutto! I’ve only ever had cantaloupe with it
Nope
Y'all complaining about how weird this recipe is, what are your thoughts on chicken and waffles?
doing april fools in august ? balsy
1:53 Helen Miran large melon reference, LOL.
Oh I NEED this immediately. You have gotten me to make some crazy things in the past but this is going to be the favorite
7:30 aha! You CAN record good audio. It's just a matter of doing it the entire video
🎵and dissolve these – with joy! 🎶
