Red, White + Blue Granita Recipe

1 · Jul 2, 2020 ·

Red White Blue Granita Recipe - HelloVeggie.co

What can I say? I’m a sucker for any fruity, icy summer treat. We’re big fans of granita at our house and of all the frozen desserts, granita is probably one of the easiest to make. This homemade red, white and blue granita recipe is really three in one – strawberry, coconut-lime and blueberry, festively layered in a pretty dessert cup. Make sure you use transparent containers, to really show off that layered beauty. The flavors go surprisingly well together, and with 4th of July just around the corner, this is a fun dessert for the whole family to celebrate with.

Red, White + Blue Granita Recipe

Granita is so easy to make, I’m not sure this should even qualify as a recipe. It’s vegan, gluten-free, and depending on the sweetness of the fruit, you can reduce the amount of sweetener to make it even healthier.

Simply puree the ingredients in a high speed blender (I use my Vitamix because it’s able to puree the seeds as well), pour into a shallow pan, freeze, and in a few hours you’ve got granita! This recipe is a little more fruit-heavy than others, so the granita is a little more like sorbet. But if you prefer an icier granita, use half the fruit and add more water and simple syrup. Also and feel free to decrease the honey to your liking.

Once the fruit puree has frozen a bit (you don’t want it to be completely solid, just starting to freeze), use a fork to gently scrape it into a light, fluffy ice mixture, almost like a slushy. Then layer the different ices in a glass to get a red, white and blue affect. All done and ready to celebrate!
