Watermelon Milkmaid Granita

1.Begin by cutting the watermelon into cubes, ensuring all seeds are removed. You should have about 4 cups of watermelon cubes.

2.Place the watermelon cubes in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any pulp, if desired.

3.Add the Milkmaid, fresh lime juice, and salt to the watermelon juice. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.

4.Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish, spreading it out evenly. This will help it freeze faster and create a better texture for the granita.

5.Place the baking dish in the freezer and allow it to freeze for about 2 hours. After 2 hours, use a fork to scrape the mixture, breaking up any ice crystals that have formed. Return to the freezer.

6.Repeat the scraping process every 30 minutes for an additional 2-3 hours, or until the granita is fluffy and has a light, icy texture.

7.Once ready, use a fork to fluff the granita one last time before serving.
