Simple Dessert: Granita

Granita is a flavored ice dessert that is super simple to make. It was (and still is) my go-to recipe in the summer months when you want a sweet treat, but are out of ice cream.

The ingredients can vary slightly, but the base ingredients include water and sugar. (simple enough.) To that you can add whatever flavor you like. I like to make it with whatever fresh produce is in season (and on sale) — or whatever I can harvest from my garden.
