Watermelon granita with summer fruit recipe
- Cuisine: Modern Australian
This semi-frozen dessert is refreshing in the summer months. Spoon the dessert into chilled glass bowls to prevent the granita from melting too quickly when it’s served.
Ingredients
1 kg watermelon75 g (1/3 cup) caster sugar
60 ml (1/4 cup) white spirit (vodka, tequila or rum)
3 pink grapefruit or 4 oranges
1/2 cantaloupe
200 g strawberries
Preparation
Chop the watermelon, discarding the skin and pips. Place the melon in a food processor, along with the caster sugar and white spirit, and blend until smooth. Strain through a sieve and discard any remaining pulp. Tip the watermelon juice into a shallow baking tray and freeze overnight.Remove the skins and pith of the citrus fruit. Remove the segments from the membrane so that each segment is free from any pith or seeds. Either dice the cantaloupe or scoop into balls using a melon baller. Remove the leaves from the strawberries, cut in half if necessary and wash. Combine all the fruit in a bowl and set aside.
Remove the granita from the freezer and flake with a fork. Divide the fruit salad between 6 chilled glass bowls, add a large spoonful of granita and serve.
