Chili-Limeade Granita

I took a spicy spin, using lime, cayenne and some mango to offer a unique balance of flavor.
Yield: 2 cups
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 4 hours 5 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups fresh diced mango, or diced watermelon, or pitted sweet cherries
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, or to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to a food processor and puree until smooth. If your fruit isn’t very juicy, you can add a little water to get to a pourable consistency.
  • Transfer into a baking dish and freeze for 4 hours, scraping up the ice crystals with a fork every 45 minutes. You’ll end up with a baking dish of beautiful (and flavorful) ice crystals.
