Description

Summer dessert doesn't get any easier than this refreshing strawberry granita. Just combine simple syrup with fresh strawberries in the blender, puree, and freeze. Class up the dessert with coconut cream and pistachios!

Instructions

  1. Heat water over medium heat in a small saucepan. Stir in sugar and cook until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. Wash strawberries, remove the green tops, and cut in halves. Place in blender.

  3. Pour sugar water over berries in the blender and puree until smooth.

  4. Pour berry mixture into a 9"x13" baking dish and place in the freezer.

  5. Every 20-30 minutes, run a fork through the berry mixture to break apart large frozen pieces. Repeat the process until berry mixture resembles a snow cone texture; about 2 hours.

  6. Divide puree into serving dishes, top with coconut cream, and pistachios.
