1kg of strawberries
1 lemon
400g of sugar
500ml of water
Granita is a very simple but very re-
freshing dessert, especially when
you’re in a hot climate.
First of all, quickly wash the straw-
berries, then liquidize them and filter
through a fine-meshed strainer.
Prepare the syrup by boiling the wa-
ter and sugar for 5 minutes. Leave to
cool for a while then add the juice of
a lemon and the liquidized strawber-
ries.
Pour the mixture into a container and
store in the freezer for about 8 hours.
Remember to stir roughly every 40
minutes. Before serving, blend with a
mixer to break up all the ice crystals.
Decorate as desired.
Chef's note
In place of the strawberries, you can
use any other kind of fruit, or mix-
ture of fruits, but be careful about the
quantity of sugar. In other words, a
very sweet fruit will need less sugar,
and vice versa. Have fun!
