This looks amazing! I always assumed granita would be difficult to make. Silly me. I’m going to have to try this!
I have never made granita before, never tasted it either for that matter. But it looks delicious! I have some extra strawberries, maybe I will do just this!
This sounds so refreshing, especially with the fresh berries that are available, great recipe!
I JUST made a strawberry chamomile granita! 😀
I have always wanted to try making granita and I guess I should add it to my list since it’s starting to get hot here in Dallas! Your version sounds so refreshing– and seemingly simple to do.
Yum! What a great way to use up the last of the strawberries for the season =)
I love granitas! Such a light and refreshing dessert. Perfect on a weeknight. And this looks so sweet and pretty! : )
