Strawberry Granita

If you want a fast, easy, somewhat “healthy” dessert, then this recipe is for you! A granita is a semi-frozen dessert from Sicily that typically is composed of sugar, water, and flavors. Three ingredients, no cooking! And if you somehow find yourself with 3 pounds of strawberries, this is a good way to use some of them up!
Strawberry Granita
Somewhat adapted from Delicious Living
Serves 4
1 pound of strawberries (hulled)
3/4 cup powdered sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Put the strawberries in your food processor or blender and puree completely. Strain in a sieve or strainer into a bowl to remove seeds. Mix in lemon juice and sugar.
Pour into a shallow dish (mixture should not deeper than one inch) and put in the freezer for about an hour.
After an hour, take a fork and scrape the mixture so it’s fluffy. Then put back into the freezer for another hour or so (until frozen) and then scrape again.
Serve and enjoy!
