Mango-Lime Granita

Fresh mangoes are loaded with vitamins A and C. Whisking the granita as it freezes ensures that it reaches the proper consistency.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

3 cups chopped ripe mango (about 3 mangoes)
1 cup water
Juice of 2 limes (about 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons sugar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the chopped mango in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, and process until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the water, lime juice, and sugar, and stir to dissolve.

    Step 2

    Pour the mixture into a 9 × 5-inch deep-sided metal pan, and place in the freezer until nearly set, about 3 hours, whisking the mixture every hour. Remove from the freezer, and scrape the surface with the tines of a fork until it is the texture of shaved ice. Return to the freezer until ready to serve. The granita can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer up to 2 weeks.
