Watermelon Granita



Ingredients

4
cups (1 3/4 pounds) cubed seedless watermelon (from a 4-lb. melon)
1/2
cup sugar (I only used 1/4 cup because my watermelon was s
uper sweet)
1
tablespoon fresh lime juice


Preparation

Purée all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour into a 9x9x2" metal baking pan. Freeze mixture for 1 hour. Stir, mashing any frozen parts with the back of a fork. Cover and freeze mixture until firm, about 2 hours. Using a fork, scrape granita vigorously to form icy flakes



Two hours later et voilà, the granita is ready!



I always try to make my food look pretty and presentable, but clearly my friends could not wait to dig in. We finished the watermelon granita in 15 minutes. Success :)
