Ingredients
- 110 g (½ cup) sugar
- 1 Granny Smith apple, quartered
- small handful baby spinach leaves
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1 tsp Amaretto, or ¼ tsp natural almond extract
- 1 litre thick unsweetened yoghurt
Freezing time: 4 hours
Instructions
- Place the sugar and 500 ml (2 cups) water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Transfer to a blender, add the apple, spinach, lime juice and Amaretto. Blend to a smooth liquid and place in a shallow tray. Freeze for 4 hours, scraping with a fork every 30 minutes to form a firm granita.
- Meanwhile, for the thick yoghurt, place the yoghurt in a sieve lined with muslin over a bowl and refrigerate for about 3 hours or until the yoghurt is about the thickness of double cream.
- Spoon the yoghurt into a bowl and add the granita to the side. Serve immediately.
