RECIPE BY Cooking Light

This frozen dessert requires no ice-cream maker--just freeze the mixture in a pan, and scrape with a fork. If you'd like to spruce up the granita, top with chopped or halved fresh strawberries and grated lemon zest.

Simple and delicious! I served a combination of raspberries and strawberries in the granita with lemon bars for my husband's birthday. It was delicious and light!

Wonder if this could be made in my Cuisanart sorbet maker. Sure would cut the wait time down to almost nothing.

This recipe was so easy and way tasty. Looking back, I realize I forgot to add the lemon juice, but it still was perfect. I'll probably experiment with different fruits too; it looks easy to play around with.
